Philosophy of Science and Religion, Minor
Minor in Philosophy of Science and Religion (360003M)
The Philosophy of Science and Religion Minor allows students to reflect upon the coexistence of faith and reason/God and science by considering their relationship from both a theoretical and practical perspective. These two, seemingly at odds, disciplines draw on aspects from the natural sciences, social sciences, and humanities, and so the program incorporates designated courses from these diverse areas to count as partial credit toward the minor.
