Mission The mission of the Cook School of Intercultural Studies is to equip students to communicate, live and work successfully in culturally diverse societies through applied programs in anthropology, missiology, intercultural studies, linguistics and education, so that they can more effectively impact the world for Jesus Christ. 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 concepts of anthropology while providing opportunities to concentrate in one of the subdisciplines: sociocultural, linguistic, 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 four-field concentration in anthropology. 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 immigrant assistance or further academic study.
