How you see the world
Every university teaches from a worldview, and that worldview will shape the way you see—and live with—reality.
The Millis Institute teaches the truths of the Christian worldview as it has influenced and developed throughout Western civilization. We are committed to the conviction that the world was created by the Triune God, who invested creation with various orders that can be studied, known and embodied:
a numerical order
giving rise to mathematical truth
a logical order
that we can grasp through reason
a spatial order
yielding shapes, angles & movement
a musical or poetic order
evoking beauty and delight
a moral order
resonating with our conscience
a spiritual order
in communion with the divine
a physical order
that we can observe and measure
The degrees we offer enable students to discern truth, goodness and beauty in these various creational orders (through subjects like logic, rhetoric, music, geometry, ethics and theology). Our unique curriculum also trains students to bring historical, literary, philosophical and theological perspectives to bear on central human questions from a Christian perspective.
The goal is to help students bring a Christ-centred worldview to bear on every dimension of reality, so that they might know, love and live well in the world.
