Anthropology is the study of humans, past and present. To understand the full sweep and complexity of cultures across all of human history, anthropology draws and builds upon knowledge from the social and biological sciences as well as the humanities and physical sciences. A central concern of anthropologists is the application of knowledge to the solution of human problems. Anthropology majors find work as medical researchers, museum curators, park rangers, teachers, archeologists, business managers, and forensic specialists.

For discipline outcomes, see General Education Outcomes-Social Science .

Chemeketa offers a number of anthropology courses. Some of these courses can be used to fulfill the Social Science requirements of the Associate of Arts Oregon Transfer degree and the Associate of Science Transfer degrees in Business and Computer Science. See Associate of Arts Oregon Transfer (AAOT) Degree Requirements , Associate of Science/Oregon Transfer Degree in Business (ASOT-BUS) , and Associate of Science/Oregon Transfer Degree in Computer Science (ASOT-CS)  for a complete listing.

Oregon State University, Portland State University, and University of Oregon offer Bachelor of Arts and/or Bachelor of Science degrees in Anthropology. Eastern Oregon University and Southern Oregon University both offer a combined major in anthropology and sociology.

As a student, you are responsible for learning the departmental requirements of the school to which you plan to transfer. Consult with Chemeketa Advising and First Year Programs staff or a Chemeketa Anthropology faculty advisor. Also, you should make early contact with an advisor at the institution to which you plan to transfer to learn of any possible changes in an academic area.
