Theology and Philosophy

Welcome

Caldwell University offers a wide variety of courses in both Theology and Philosophy. You can major in Theology in the way outlined in our major section, and you can also major in Philosophy by way of the independent major described in our catalog. In addition, you can minor in Theology and Philosophy in the way described in our department webpage.

We are a small department, but in addition to our full time faculty, we employ many specialized adjunct faculty members who have a variety of expertise in interesting areas of Theology and Philosophy.  We also sponsor a Sr. Maura Campbell lecture series which brings in outside speakers on Theology, Philosophy, and the Liberal arts several times during the semester.

Students at Caldwell University are delighted that their classes in Theology and Philosophy connect to their studies and interests in history, law, medicine, health care,  communications and more. In this video, professors in the department share how the vibrant disciplines of Theology and Philosophy can be integrated into other academic fields and impact students’ lives favorably and richly.

Within Caldwell University’s purpose to advance higher education within a Catholic framework, the Department of Theology and Philosophy serves a vital role. We contribute to this purpose through instruction in the principles of philosophy and Catholic theology. We are motivated by a desire to instill high ideals of character and conduct, develop religious fervor, social skills, and intellectual abilities that are becoming of a cultured citizen. Our mission is to gift our students with Sapientia et Scientia.

The Department offers a Bachelor of Arts degree in theology, and minors in both theology and philosophy.
