Application for Graduation (use EagleNET) must be made at least two terms in advance of the term you expect to graduate (undergraduate and post-baccalaureate).
Use the Catalog Archives to determine two important catalog years.
Requirements in Degree Works are based on these two catalog years:
- The catalog in effect at the student's first term of current matriculation is used to determine BACR (Breadth Area Credit Requirements) and UGR (Undergraduate Graduation Requirements).
- The catalog in effect at the time the student declares a major or minor is used to determine the program requirements.
Students who earn a BA in Anthropology from EWU should be able to:
- demonstrate basic knowledge in and integration of each of the four anthropological subfields: biological anthropology, archaeology, linguistic anthropology, and cultural anthropology;
- connect knowledge of anthropological theories and methods to trends within the discipline;
- address human problems using anthropological knowledge, methods, and theories;
- demonstrate anthropologically informed ethical reasoning that draws upon a social justice framework.
