Message from Our Divisional Dean

Welcome to the Religion and Philosophy Division at Seaver College!  Our division serves both undergraduate and graduate students at Seaver.  Virtually every Seaver undergraduate student will spend some time with us, as Religion courses are part of the general education curriculum.  Students can also pursue major or minor degrees in Religion and Philosophy, which will prepare them for ministry or graduate study.  In addition to the Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) in Religion and the Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy (B.A.), the Religion and Philosophy Division maintains a graduate program that offers the Master of Arts in Religion (M.A.), Master of Science in Ministry (M.S.), and Master of Divinity (M.Div.) degrees.

The Religion and Philosophy faculty members are committed to offering a meaningful and enriching experience for our students.  All faculty members engage in scholarly research.  In many cases, students are invited to participate in scholarly research alongside their professors.  

The Religion and Philosophy faculty is deeply committed to serving the church.  We are excited about preparing young people for Christian service.  Students will spend one-on-one time with their professors, and will grow in a community of faith.  

If you would like to consider studying Religion or Philosophy at Pepperdine, please reach out to us, and we will try to answer any questions you have.

Sincerely,

Dyron Daughrity
