Library collections, field work and the Internet provide numerous resources for in-depth research. Additional learning opportunities are available through Eastern's urban partnerships and organized trips to development conferences. Graduates of the program leave with a portfolio that includes business plans, market analysis, feasibility studies, ethnographies and needs assessments. At Eastern, we encourage students to strengthen their abilities in this area by building community among themselves. Prayer meetings, Bible studies, weekend retreats, living together in Christian community and dinners are all part of the Eastern experience.
Students develop both professional and personal relationships which last a lifetime.
In the following page is a compilation of vocations for graduates from our program. This list is the result of the observations and insight of men and women who are practitioners in the field of development.
