Science and Christian Faith, minor

Program Overview

Are you interested in the intersection between Christian theology and the natural sciences? Do you like asking questions about the world around you and analyzing how they fit into a biblical worldview?  If so, consider adding a Science and Christian Faith minor to whichever major you pursue.

The Science and Christian Faith minor allows students to delve into the ways theology and the sciences explore creation, questions of morality, and human interaction. In this program, you’ll study biblical and philosophical approaches to understanding the world, as well as drawing meaningful and practical connections between Scripture and the biggest conversations in science today.

This minor is especially ideal for those interested in integrating their faith into majors like biology, chemistry, physics, mathematics, psychology, and other sciences.
