Anthropology

Faculty	(Fort Steilacoom): Mike Avey, Mary Russell

Degree:	Associate in Arts & Sciences, Anthropology Major

Anthropology, the study of human beings, combines four disciplines to offer a broad-based education for college transfer or personal enrichment: archaeology – the study of past cultures; sociocultural Anthropology – the description and analysis of living cultures; ANnthropological linguistics; dealing with the totality of world languages; and physical Anthropology; examining human beings as biological organisms.

Students planning to transfer as Anthropology majors should complete AAS degree requirements and must check with the transfer institution regarding specific requirements and transferable credits. Anthropology majors should work closely with a faculty advisor to plan an overall program of study.
