We aim to help our students explore the world that God created, use cutting-edge technology, and discover how faith interacts with questions that arise out of studying science. We focus on teaching our students how to articulate a Christian perspective on issues such as bioethics, ecology, and human life.
Science and engineering programs are taught within the world of ideas, synthesizing the liberal arts, advanced theories, and applied technology.
