"I have been told at seminary visits that because of my studies in religion at Wartburg, I will be better prepared for seminary classes. The religion professors are very good at teaching us how to integrate faith into our everyday ives, and they make learning about religion fun and exciting."
- Jenna Miner '08, Religion
Wartburg College understands
itself as a community of faith and learning. Course work in religion
helps students understand the Christian heritage, increase ethical sensitivity,
gain understanding of and respect for other religions, and explore the
relation between faith and life. The principal mission of philosophy
is to foster in its practitioners a critical, reflective attitude. Thus,
it provides students with tools to broaden narrow perspectives and analyze
values, ideologies, and commitments.
During May Term, students
may complete traditional courses on campus, participate in field experiences in a parish or church-related agency,
take part in a San Bernardino or Denver immersion, visit Reformation
lands, or participate in an archaeological dig.
