Associate in Arts, DTA - Anthropology Specialization

The Associate in Arts Direct Transfer Agreement (DTA) is a statewide transfer degree recognized by all Washington State public baccalaureate institutions and many private colleges. It provides students with a broad foundation in the liberal arts and is designed to support a seamless transition into bachelor’s degree programs.

The Anthropology Specialization degree provides a well-rounded foundation in the primary subfields of anthropology, including archaeology, and biological, cultural and linguistic anthropology. Designed for students intending to major or minor in anthropology, the specialization supports seamless transfer to most Washington State baccalaureate institutions with junior standing. Students planning to transfer out of state should consult with their intended institution to ensure course transferability.

Students are strongly encouraged to work closely with an academic advisor to develop an education plan that meets both degree requirements and the specific admission criteria of their intended transfer institution. Some universities or education programs may require additional prerequisites, a minimum GPA, or a competitive application process.
