Integration of Faith and Learning Assignment

As we have learned, the nature of interdisciplinary studies is to integrate two disciplines with the objective of advancing a fundamental understanding or to solve a problem that is beyond the scope of a single discipline. The integration of faith and academics is a critical component of an education from a biblical worldview. The Bible offers insights into many different topics.
