Knowledge of Human Cultures, the Natural World and the Christian Faith

VISION: Understanding and engaging the world through a diversity of means and materials is the mark of a well-formed and versatile mind. Through an introduction to the basic content and methodologies of multiple disciplines, students will study the complexity of human cultures, the natural world, and the foundations of the Christian faith. Students will also learn to appreciate the limitations of knowledge in a given field and hence the interdependence of the disciplines in the search for truth. Ultimately, the pursuit of knowledge can lead to wisdom when it is integrated with well-honed skills and lived moral commitments.
