Mary S.
Holy Sophia University has truly transformed my educational journey. The faculty is incredibly supportive and knowledgeable, always willing to help students succeed. I appreciate the community atmosphere that encourages collaboration and personal growth. The flexibility of online classes has allowed me to balance my studies with other commitments. I highly recommend Holy Sophia University to anyone seeking a meaningful Christian education based upon early church fathers.
Earning my Master’s degree from Holy Sophia has been a truly transformative journey. Rooted in the wisdom of the early Church Fathers, the program offered me not just academic knowledge, but spiritual nourishment and clarity. Each course was deeply grounded in Patristic theology, providing a rich teaching from the likes of St. Athanasius, St. Cyril of Alexandria, and many others whose voices continue to echo powerfully in the life of the Church today.
