Economic Development

About

Overview Paired with a liberal arts education, this degree equips students with a breadth of understanding in business and economics, as well as knowledge of various cultural, historical, and political issues, necessary to effect change in the developing world.Faculty in the Economic Development program place a high priority on helping students gain internship experience with local and international development-focused organizations. Upon graduation, students often secure overseas or urban assignments with a variety of community and economic empowerment organizations: The Peace Corps, Mennonite Central Committee, World Vision, The United Nations, USAID, municipal development offices, bi-lateral aid agencies, or a wide variety of other employers. And since this is not only a social empowerment degree but also a business degree, many who graduate from this program present as strong candidates for employment in the business sector. Furthermore, Eastern University graduates are excellently poised to pursue further graduate education. This major has no concentrations, but students are strongly advised to take a minor (or major) with the language, anthropology, environmental studies, missions, political science or sociology department.Why Choose Eastern?Eastern's Economic Development program is one of the few of its kind among peer institutions. Unlike other programs which focus primarily on economics or anthropology, the Economic Development program at Eastern requires student to work through a unique blend of business, theology, philosophy, sociology, anthropology and economics. Students are challenged to think through biblical and theological implications related to the empowerment of marginalized communities, the epistemology of prevailing economic opinions and approaches, and the social structure of local communities.
