Chaired by James Flynn, Ph.D.

Students at Caldwell University are delighted that their classes in Theology and Philosophy connect to their studies and interests in history, law, medicine, health care,  communications and more. In this video, professors in the department share how the vibrant disciplines of Theology and Philosophy can be integrated into other academic fields and impact students’ lives favorably and richly. Within Caldwell university’s purpose to advance higher education within a Catholic framework, the Department of Theology and Philosophy serves a vital role. We contribute to this purpose through instruction in the principles of philosophy and Catholic theology. We are motivated by a desire to instill high ideals of character and conduct, develop religious fervor, social skills, and intellectual abilities that are becoming of a cultured citizen. Our mission is to gift our students with Sapientia et Scientia.

Why Caldwell?

The best reason to choose Caldwell University for your degree is the value of a small school experience with a great Liberal Arts Foundation.  You will know all of your professors by name, and this makes for a friendly learning environment.  You will have a much easier time meeting other students, as most of our classes are small.  You will find your Theology and Philosophy teachers not only concerned about your academic development, but also ready and willing to help in your spiritual development.  Welcome.

The Department offers a Bachelor of Arts degree in theology, and minors in both theology and philosophy.
