Anthropology/Archaeology, AA

Is a Degree in Anthropology or Archaeology Right for You?

Do you have a genuine curiosity about humanity? Does hands-on learning about historic artifacts and practices of people, both past and present, appeal to you? 

Do you want to learn about the world, and at the same time, about yourself?

If you answered yes for any of these questions, then Gulf Coast State College’s Anthropology /Archaeology transfer track is perfect for you! This is a great track for individuals interested in the study of human origins, languages, social institutions, and customs. Gulf Coast State College's Introduction to Anthropology and Introduction to Archaeology courses offer fun and engaging hands-on learning opportunities.
