The Associate of Science in Anthropology is for students interested in completing a bachelor’s degree at Oregon State University in Anthropology. Students interested in this option are strongly encouraged to enroll in the Degree Partnership Program (DPP) as there may be lower division courses required by their chosen discipline that are only offered at Oregon State University (www.linnbenton.edu/degree-partnership). Students interested in the general transfer degree, the AA(OT) should follow the guidelines for that degree. If you know the college/university you will be attending, you should work with an advisor from that school to be sure you are taking appropriate courses at LBCC.

Students interested in completing a bachelor’s degree in Anthropology at OSU will choose from one of four sub-disciplines as they move on to OSU: Physical (or Biological) Anthropology, Archeology, Linguistics, or Cultural Anthropology. Depending on the track followed, traditional career opportunities for Anthropology majors include positions in higher education, museums and field work. Anthropologists have also found employment opportunities with Hallmark, The United Nations, the U. S. Military, the Nature Conservancy, the American Medical Association, General Mills Foods and Mattel Toy Company.
