Philosophy and Theology

The Department of Philosophy and Theology plays an essential part in expressing and defining the University’s commitment to the Christian tradition, particularly to the Lutheran perspective. We offer an extensive and well-rounded curriculum, with courses in Western and non-Western philosophy and courses in contemporary philosophy in both the analytic and continental traditions. Students engage in a study of theology that examines the Christian faith and other traditions to discern the perspective religion offers to our understanding of human life.
