Anthropology at Collin
Collin College provides general academic courses and electives for students who plan to transfer to a college or university. Because of the various transfer requirements at colleges and universities, and to ensure enrollment in appropriate courses, students should verify course transferability and degree applicability with a Collin College academic advisor and/or the college or university that they plan to attend.
To earn an associate degree, complete the 42 credit hour General Education Core, and 18 credit hours of general studies electives and the Associate of Arts (AA) or Associate of Science (AS) degree requirements.
Check with your transfer institution before registering for general studies electives to make sure your courses will be degree applicable to your bachelor's degree at the transfer institution.
What defines being human? Why are there variations and differences among different groups of humans? Why does my social or cultural group react in a certain way to other groups' actions? Why does it make sense for other groups to behave in certain ways when it would never occur to me to do the same thing?
Anthropology seeks to answer these questions and others so we may better understand human societies and the complexity of our roles in the world. Collin College anthropology coursework will provide you with a foundation in the discipline and will serve you well as you seek to understand the world.
