Department of Social Science

Are you:

inquisitive
desiring to influence the world around you
fascinated by American and foreign cultures
intrigued by histories and backgrounds
interested in current events and politics
interested in the legal profession

If any of the above describe you, then we invite you to take a look at the social sciences field. The social sciences take on the fascinating study of mankind in a systematic, all-encompassing manner. Possibly more than any other area of study, the social sciences bring together a broad scope of interests — from a study of the past and its meaning for the present, to the workings of government and public institutions.

In Evangel's Department of Social Sciences, you have the opportunity to learn about history and culture within the unique framework of a Christian environment.

The department offers study in American and world civilization, government, legal studies, conflict resolution, economics, geography, anthropology, international/multicultural studies, and public administration.
