Established in 2015 as Holy Transfiguration College (HTC), Agora University initiated innovative, interdisciplinary degree programs aimed at community-building through Orthodox Christian tradition thought across divergent domains. In March 2017, the institution was renamed Agora University, designating HTC as the college of History, Philosophy and Religion. HTC aims to be the nucleus of Agora University’s vision to be a pioneering institute dedicated to the humanities from an Eastern Christian perspective. HTC continues to focus on developing interdisciplinary venues between the Eastern Christian tradition and the humanities. HTC is committed to providing high quality Orthodox Christian foundations while also maintaining a vigorous tradition of research on subjects pertaining to the intersection between theology and the humanities.
