Bachelor of Arts [B.A] [Anthropology and Religion] From Butler University

The Anthropology and Religion major includes courses from both disciplines that focus, descriptively, on the world’s various religions, and on the methods that professionals use to observe and describe them – essentially making this is an anthropology OF religion major.   The required courses from Religion are those that either privilege the descriptive method as applied to the study of religion (e.g., Religions of the World, and several upper-level courses) or directly teach descriptive methodologies (e.g., Theory and Method).  On the Anthropology side, the required courses are those that do the same.  The major is more heavily weighted on theory than either Anthropology or Religion alone.
