What our students say about the Philosophy program
“While I think that every professor I have had is very intentional with their students, Dr. Matt Hill has been specifically impactful in my academic and personal success at SAU. He has helped me learn how to critically think and evaluate which has been helpful in my pursuit of my degree but also in my faith journey.”
