Minor in Philosophy

Philosophical studies introduce a student to ideas which have determined the course of history and which have outlined what man, “through the power of his mind,” knows about himself, the world and God. Through philosophy, a student comes face to face with the most acute theoretical and existential problems of the human person and delves into its roots. Students grow avid for the truth by learning to think profoundly in terms of being and objectivity, sharpening their critical sense and learning to detect and refute error.

Furthermore, philosophy is an invaluable aid for the faith and theological studies, both because of the notions and principles which it lends to theological speculation, and because of the process of reflection it supplies for the correct pursuit of the discourse on God.
