A private Christian graduate school has received permission to grant masters and doctoral degrees in philosophy. Established in 1967 the Institute for Christian Studies describes itself as, "a school in the Reformed tradition, committed to self-critique and continual change." Pursuing a Christian approach to philosophy, the humanities and social sciences are the school's main endeavours.
The decision improved upon the school's previous program that was only a stepping stone on the road to receiving a PhD; and even that had to be in conjunction with a university in Amsterdam. "ICS has demonstrated that we have the capacity and the skills to deliver quality education at a graduate level," said Dr. Harry Fernhout, ICS president. "We are extremely grateful to our faculty, students and supporters, and especially, to God for his faithful leading."
