Associate of Arts in Anthropology
This program is similar to the first two years of a typical anthropology program at a four-year college or university. It also provides flexibility for students desiring an associate’s degree to specialize the program to their individual interests.
Anthropology
The Blinn College District Anthropology Program offers an Associate of Arts Degree in Anthropology with courses taught by instructors who familiarize students with the differing theories in regard to human origins and biocultural adaptations, and provides hands-on experience in laboratory techniques and experimentation that usually are reserved only for graduate students.
Certain anthropology courses meet the requirements for International and Cultural Diversity credits at Texas A&M University.
Students who complete their Associate of Arts in Anthropology can transfer to a four-year college or university to pursue a bachelor’s degree in anthropology.
