Humanities - Philosophy
Students who study philosophy will explore and interact with the development of philosophical tradition(s) from the basis of a Christian worldview. Disciplines such as critical thinking, moral reflection and intellectual dialogue are cultivated in order to engage in the intellectual spirits of the age, to develop a distinctly Christian approach to philosophy and to develop an appreciation of the life and mind.
"Students are starting to produce critically accepted work while in the philosophy program. We focus on mentoring and dialogue which places the responsibility for learning upon the student. It is not a program you can simply float through." Dr. Matt Bonzo, associate professor of philosophy
