The MA in Theological and Cultural Anthropology prepares students to teach anthropology, enter doctoral programs, serve in cross-cultural Christian ministry, and/or find jobs in business, government, or services that are related to international work. Courses in anthropology, the comparative study of cultures, are combined with courses in theology to create a faith-based program that addresses both theoretical and practical concerns in the field of anthropology. Students are instructed and trained in skills such as ethnographic research and writing, cross-cultural analysis, and applied problem solving. Investigation of the relationship between Christ and culture across the curriculum prepares students for ministry in church and mission agencies as well. The degree is fully online and asynchronous.  It can be optionally completed in 12-24 months, with 30 credits, including the writing of an ethnography and master’s thesis.
