Wisconsin Lutheran College

Programme overview

The minor immerses students in the "Great Conversation" of philosophical inquiry—classical and contemporary questions about morality, God, immortality, the soul, epistemology and world‑view. WLC frames philosophy through a Christian, biblical and confessional lens with an explicit apologetic orientation: courses aim to equip students to give a carefully thought‑out account of their hope in line with 1 Peter 3:15. Philosophy at WLC is presented as both an intellectual discipline and a preparation for a life of faith and reason.

What you'll study

Coursework addresses perennial philosophical topics such as the nature of goodness and God, arguments about immortality and the soul, theories of knowledge and methods of knowing, and approaches for making sense of the world. Classes are designed to develop creative, critical and disciplined thinking while inviting students to participate in the historical and ongoing philosophical dialogue.
