Department of Science & Technology

In today's world, which places great emphasis on the analytical and disregards the spiritual, there is a strong need for committed Christians in the field of science. That's why the mission of Evangel's Department of Science and Technology is to provide a solid understanding of science, yet temper it with an appreciation for the majesty of God as revealed in the beauty and order of His creation.

You'll find the Science and Technology Department has a far-reaching scope of study, including biology, chemistry, computer science, mathematics, medical technology, physics and much more.

At Evangel, you'll also benefit from our excellent faculty to student ratio. Each day our students have one-on-one contact with professionals who possess extensive knowledge and experience in the various fields of science and technology. Plus, our combination of lab work, seminars and internships provides the hands-on experience you'll need to pursue graduate study or go directly into a career field.
