Students studying philosophy at our private Catholic college learn to question critically, argue rigorously, and think synthetically while engaging fundamental questions about reality, God, the limits of knowledge, and the meaning of human life. Philosophy for Theological Studies students can expect to participate in seminars that include discussion, back and forth exchange, and strives toward drawing conclusions.
