Students in a
Catholic,
liberal arts
university have
the right,
privilege and
responsibility
to enter into
the theological
and
philosophical
modes of
understanding
reality.
Theology and
Philosophy are
the "sister
sciences" that
help us to
understand the
world around us;
theology builds
on what we
receive in faith
through God's
revelation and
philosophy
builds on what
we receive
through
thoughtful
consideration of
the world around
us.
In
keeping with the
heritage of
Briar Cliff, we
place particular
emphasis on the
Roman Catholic
tradition in our
courses;
however,
following the
teaching of the
Second Vatican
Council, we also
acknowledge the
ways that other
religious
traditions shape
the lives of our
students. All of
our students
will be able to
explore the
meaning of
religion and
faith in their
lives, whatever
their religious
heritage might
be.
