nderstand people and cultures in a holistic perspective, including the spiritual aspect. EXCELLENCE IN ACADEMIC STUDY: The primary concepts in anthropology, and the scholarly work of the top ranked anthropologists, are unpacked to critically examine unstated assumptions and to enrich them with theological thinking. PRACTICAL APPLICATION: Cross-cultural study is stongly needed by a wide variety of agencies in the modern globalized world. Organizations from the church to business to government appreciate the value added by a trained anthropologist. The addition of a theological approach makes this degree unique for holistic service.

ABLE TO COMPLETE THE DEGREE IN ONE YEAR: The program is carefully arranged to provide students with a full master’s degree in anthropology, relevant classes in theology, and electives in faith-based economic development as a form of practical anthropology. It is delivered in 11 months, for 33 credits, allowing students to go on to jobs or to doctoral programs quickly.
