Patrick Henry College

Reality Is Not Chopped Up Into Little Pieces

“I began to pray specifically for ‘a culture of discipleship, disciple making, and outreach’ at PHC,” said Dr. Steve Hake, Professor of Literature. “I am seeing God answer that prayer in some pretty dramatic ways.”

The Classical Liberal Arts major at Patrick Henry articulates a thorough integration of faith and learning in disciplines such as literature, philosophy, theology, and history. Explore the enriching opportunities the CLA major offers:

Examining the Greatest Questions in Human History Patrick Henry College's classical liberal arts program introduces students to the most important inquiries in human history.

Katie Gorectke remembers looking out of her window on the flight back to Washington, D.C. this past summer and seeing the outline of the city far below. She could make out the Lincoln Memorial, The Capitol, and the Washington Monument all stretched out below her in miniaturized detail.

“I’m home,” Katie remembers thinking.

Three years ago, Katie would never have called Washington, D.C.—or PHC—home. She didn’t have an interest in lawyers or government. She didn’t appreciate their arguments and their seemingly know-it-all attitudes. But something changed when, at an NCFCA tournament, she met Stephen Pierce, the Director of Student Recruitment at PHC. She began to realize that although she had wanted to go into medicine, God might have other plans.

“The Lord softened my heart enough that I realized what I was actually passionate about. I had a concern in my heart for where our country is going,” Katie said.

Not long later, Katie came to study at PHC. In less than two weeks of her freshman year, she declared her major—American Politics and Policy—and started her journey toward a career in either law or policy.

Thanks for making PHC your college choice, Katie! May God bless you as you follow Him boldly!

Have Liberal Arts Colleges Lost Their Soul? (Part 2)

Have liberal arts colleges lost their soul? And if so, does it matter?

When the size of core curriculum programs in American liberal arts colleges shrink, so does the number of individuals who are qualified to lead with confidence, competence, and integrity. Read “Have Liberal Arts Colleges Lost Their Soul?” (parts 1 and 2).

Jonathan Arens remembers 2016 as a turning point for the way he thought about United States politics. As Republican candidates battled out a fiercely contested Republican nomination, Jonathan recalls how the struggle for the presidency went from being something that merely piqued his interest to suddenly becoming a spark of inspiration.

He found a career path that he wanted to pursue: work in politics and campaigns!

So, being a conservative Christian with an eye for working in Washington, D.C., Jonathan came to Patrick Henry College to study American Politics and Policy. In the short run, his dream job might look like working on campaigns or campaign management. Later on, Jonathan would like to work in lobbying or perhaps in public relations.

For now, he’s focused on getting internships and excelling at Political Science Research Methods, a class he will have to take in his sophomore year.

We love your focus and determination, Jonathan! We wish you the best in this coming year. Thanks so much for choosing to be a part of the PHC family. We are glad to have you.

Have Liberal Arts Colleges Lost Their Soul? (Part 1)

According to ACTA, “only 18% of colleges and universities require a foundational survey course in U.S. government or history. And the danger to our democratic republic is real.” What if we said that a college education is about human flourishing more than preparing for a job? Not convinced? Take a look...

After a busy but exciting day of moving belongings to a new country and into a dormitory, Frank Dalton lay on his bed, thinking about the incredible new journey he was about to begin. He was starting his Patrick Henry College journey. And this was really happening!

“This is not my house. This is not my bedroom. I’m waking up in a completely different situation,” Frank remembers thinking.

Originally from Guatemala, Frank is a rising junior by credits. He’s pursuing a degree in Economics & Business Analytics (EBA). He hopes to one day use his education to go into consulting. He likes tackling challenges and finding solutions to complex questions. Consulting, says Frank, brings a certain appeal because it’s such a multifaceted industry with ever-changing questions that need answers.

In addition to consulting, however, Frank knows he would also someday like to do something in ministry or service, and his EBA degree will prepare him for those opportunities as well.

This fall will be the beginning of Frank’s second year on campus. He’s excited to meet new freshmen, play soccer for a second season, and play a larger role in leadership and campus life.

We’re glad to have you here, Frank! Thanks for being a part of the PHC family!

Layna Caldwell first became interested in working in the Intelligence Community (IC) when she was seven years old. Her grandfather had worked undercover for a government agency and his stories of collapsing tunnels, espionage, and secrets filled Layna’s young imagination. For Layna—now a student at Patrick Henry College—the IC is still a prospect filled with intrigue, but it’s also a career path that she believes can have a tangible impact on the world.

For Layna, that means fighting human trafficking.

In high school, Layna participated in “Out of Darkness,” a Christian organization dedicated to the frontline work of getting people out of trafficking situations. As a Freshman, Layna participated in PHC’s International Justice Mission chapter on campus, working to raise awareness of global rights for abused women and children. Layna hopes to continue these efforts in her sophomore year by working with the south com security bulletin special project for the Strategic Intelligence in National Security program at PHC.

As she’s preparing to return to college in the fall, she’s excited about continuing her education and personal development both in and outside of the classroom.

Glad to have you here, Layna! Thanks for being such an active part of the culture-shaping community at PHC!
