Senior Thesis Seminar
A capstone philosophy course, the Senior Thesis Seminar is a requirement for graduation in which students write, present, and defend a thesis paper with their faculty thesis advisors. Students experience the compatibility and complementarity of faith and reason in a seminar in which they are challenged with meaningful texts and deepen their understanding of those texts by discussions that follow the Socratic method.
