Division of Theology and Philosophy

Theology and philosophy are the integrating force of the curriculum, offering an insight into the relationship between faith and reason. They direct the student toward a clearer knowledge of the Catholic faith and a greater appreciation of its intelligibility. As noted below, our Division Goals are consistent with our Institutional Goals (IG). This cohesiveness ensures that this Division supports the mission of Assumption College.
