Greene, Langenwalter, Pittle Mission & Learning Outcomes The anthropology major provides a holistic understanding of the diversity of human behavior across time, geography and culture through a distinctly Christian worldview. There are two primary objectives of the program at Biola. First, the program provides students with a solid foundation of the central theoretical con- cepts while providing opportunities to concentrate in one of the subdisciplines- sociocultural, linguistic and physical anthropology or archaeology. Second, the program provides students with the practical tools, through an emphasis on field research, to actively bridge cultural differences in order to effectively share the good news of the Gospel and holistically address human problems such as injustice and the effects of globalization on populations around the world. The core of the program is the five-field emphasis in anthropol- ogy. Students will not only gain a firm academic foundation but also the tools necessary to be actively involved in using their anthropological skills to serve others. This program provides training for students planning to enter a variety of fields including research in the area of private and public agencies, social welfare, community and rural development, archaeology, refugee and im- migrant assistance or further academic study. Degree Program A Bachelor of Arts degree in Anthropology is offered upon com- pletion of the university baccalaureate and major requirements. Major Preparation Students are required to take ANTH 200 and ANTH 220 as preparation for the major. These courses fulfill general education requirements.

Graduate level, normally indicating first through third year beyond baccalaureate.
500 –700
Postgraduate level, indicating fourth year beyond baccalaureate.
800–999
