Department of Humanities

Throughout history, people have expressed themselves through art, literature, language, and drama. The Evangel Department of Humanities celebrates these forms of expression and seeks to better understand them and the way they influence our modern culture.

What you may find most exciting about the humanities department is the way we help you integrate your studies into your Christian faith and life. We have an excellent student/faculty ratio, and our professors are dedicated to guiding you to personal, social, and academic success.

Take a look at what our department has to offer. You'll find we have a unique sense of unity across all fields of study. Whether you are interested in a career in education, ministry, or the business world, a humanities degree can give you the skills you need to become a valued professional.
