We are excited about starting the Fall 2021 semester with a variety of classes in person and online.   Our archaeology excavation class at Rancho Penasquitos Adobe starts Saturday, August 28.  Our first meeting will take place at Palomar College at 8:00 am in room MD-124.    Get ready to dig, learn about the past, have fun, and meet new people!   You may want to consider getting our Archaeology Certificate which can land you a job in the Cultural Resource Management (CRM) industry.

We offer all types of courses that are not only interesting but meet general requirements like Introduction to Biological Anthropology (Anth 100) satisfies the natural science/life science requirements for UC and CSU; and Introduction to Cultural Anthropology (Anth 105) satisfies the social and behavioral sciences for UC and CSU.  Magic, Witchcraft and Religion (Anth 135) satisfies a humanities requirement for UC and CSU.
