St. Davids, PA: Eastern University has launched an innovative new Bachelor of Arts in Anthropology. This program is a full "four-fields" degree, including cultural, biological, archaeological, and linguistic anthropology, providing a holistic view of human beings in all aspects of their lives, past and present. The major will be available starting in Fall 2025 to traditional undergraduate students studying on Eastern’s main campus.
Anthropology, the study of people and cultures around the world, provides knowledge and skills that prepare graduates for careers in international agencies, social services, cross-cultural church ministry, and other fields where understanding cultural differences is a critical skill.
Similar to Eastern’s MA in Theological and Cultural Anthropology, which is celebrating its 10-year anniversary, the BA in Anthropology integrates faith into the study of culture, offering students both theological and scientific perspectives on anthropology.
The program is now enrolling new students to start classes in Fall 2025. Courses include Cultural Geography, Christ and Culture, Language and Culture, Intro to Missiology, and more.
