This degree may not be appropriate preparation for students transferring to a CSU campus not accepting this degree or to a university or college that is not part of the CSU system. Students should consult with a MiraCosta counselor for further information regarding the most efficient pathway to transfer as an anthropology major and to determine which CSU campuses are participating in this program.\n\n##### Graduation Requirements\n\n-   Complete a minimum of 60 CSU-transferable semester units.\n-   Complete all courses in the major with a “C” or \"P\" or better.\n-   Complete the Cal-GETC general education pattern.\n-   Obtain a minimum CSU-transferable grade point average of 2.0.\n-   Complete a minimum of 12 semester units in residence at MiraCosta College.\n\n##### Program Student Learning Outcomes\n\nUpon successful completion of this program, students will be able to do the following:\n\n-   Demonstrate an appreciation for the biological and cultural diversity of humans around the world.\n-   Evaluate how biological and cultural processes have shaped the human species.\n-   Compare and contrast methods for collecting and analyzing evidence across the subfields of anthropology as a science."
