All admitted students must officially Declare a Major by the time they reach 90 credits (junior standing).
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.
SOAR calculates 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 successfully earn a BA in Anthropology from EWU should be able to do the following:
- demonstrate basic knowledge in and integration of each of the four anthropological subfields: cultural anthropology, archaeology, linguistic anthropology and physical anthropology;
- demonstrate knowledge of anthropological theories and methods and connect this knowledge to historical and contemporary trends within the discipline;
- demonstrate intra-cultural and intercultural communication skills grounded in respect, humility and ethical practice;
- effectively synthesize anthropological knowledge, methods and theories to address contemporary cultural, social, political, economic and religious issues;
- establish a personal anthropological perspective and ethic that makes a meaningful contribution to an increasingly interconnected and culturally diverse world.
