Associate of Arts in Applied Anthropology

AA Applied Anthropology Worksheet

TMCC is one of the few schools in the nation offering an associate's degree in applied anthropology.

Students pursuing this degree will complete 65 credits including an internship to obtain this degree. Upon completion, students will have a portfolio that demonstrates their command of social science research skills as well as entry-level professional anthropology experience in work-related and cross-cultural settings.

Although TMCC graduates can find career opportunities working as technical assistants with professional anthropologists in a variety of settings, many students choose to transfer to a four-year school.

The associate of arts degree is accepted at the University of Nevada, Reno and is fully transferable to most four-year schools in the nation.

Students have a distinct advantage over their fellow classmates as they advance in their schooling, because they have relevant work-related experiences and marketable job related skills which they can build as their careers advance.
