BA in Cultural Anthropology and Religious Studies in Boston United States | Northeastern University

The Departments of Sociology & Anthropology and Philosophy & Religion provide an interdisciplinary joint major in anthropology and religious studies. This combined program blends the examination of cultural systems and social organization with the exploration of religious practices and belief systems. Philosophy engages with fundamental inquiries and conceptual frameworks concerning ethics, community, spirituality, and both natural and social sciences. Philosophy courses equip students with knowledge of philosophical methodologies and historical traditions while fostering critical, collective contemplation about existence and humanity's place in the world. Through textual analysis, dialogue, and written work, learners investigate issues regarding the legitimacy of ethical claims, political ideologies, and scientific paradigms, along with value-based considerations in fields like jurisprudence, healthcare, ecology, and innovation.
