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
Blinn's Anthropology Program helps students understand the ways humans have evolved, adapted, and interacted throughout history. The knowledge earned through the anthropology associate degree can be applied to fields such as international relations, business development, education, or even advocacy. Anthropology helps develop critical thinking and research skills while promoting cultural sensitivity and empathy.
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.
