*A new college orientation requirement, completion of the one-credit ACDV 101  course, Transitioning to College, went into effect spring 2010. If you are a credit student who is new to college (meaning you have not successfully completed college coursework at another institution(s)), you are required to take ACDV 101  during your first semester at CCBC, possibly increasing the number of credits required for the degree to 61 credits. Students are required to provide an official transcript(s) to document successful completion of college coursework at another institution(s) in order for this requirement to be waived.

Transfer Pattern Outcomes:

Upon successful completion of this transfer pattern, students will be able to:

1. determine the focus of each of the “four fields” of anthropology and the relationship of anthropology to the other social sciences;
2. apply the concept of culture and cultural relativism approach in class discussion and/or the writing about cultures different from their own;
3. prepare and execute written and oral communication with objectivity, conciseness, and clarity;
4. evaluate and critique research methods used in anthropological and other social science fieldwork;
5. analyze cultural diversity as it plays a role throughout the coursework;
6. evaluate examples of applied anthropology in order to determine the effectiveness of using anthropological knowledge to address social problems; and
7. evaluate sources of print and Internet information on cultural diversity and other topics.

Transfer Pattern Description:

This degree pattern is designed to help students transfer to colleges and universities that offer a baccalaureate degree with a major in Anthropology. Beyond the General Education requirements and other degree, program, and elective requirements, this pattern should be considered in light of the requirements of the selected transfer institution. Students should consult with an advisor for information about specific requirements.

Four-year institutions vary in their requirements for an Anthropology major. It is recommended that a student consult with an advisor at the transfer institution as soon as possible in order to choose courses at CCBC that meet the requirements at the four-year institution.
