The Master of Arts program in Philosophy is subdivided into three disciplines:
(1) Philosophy/History of Ideas (2) Christian Studies (3) Aesthetics
The discipline of Philosophy/History of Ideas comprises ancient philosophy, modern epistemology and ontology, contemporary ethics and analytic philosophy.
The discipline of Christian Studies comprises Christian theology, and conflicts between Christianity and modern/contemporary thought.
The discipline of Aesthetics comprises philosophical aesthetics, principles of the history of art and particular issues in aesthetics.
Students specialize in one of the three disciplines. In addition, they are encouraged to attend courses in the other two disciplines in order to acquire both specialized knowledge and interdisciplinary understanding.
