I could not be more grateful for the education I received at Evangel. Not only did Evangel prepare me for every possible classroom situation, but the atmosphere and spiritual climate at Evangel helped foster a reflective attitude in me. Reflection is essential for the best teachers because it is through reflection that best practices are developed.

Clinical Psychology

Owner of All things New Counseling Services, LLC
Evangel's Master of Science in Clinical Psychology provided me with an outstanding balance of academic training and faith integration to succeed as a Christian in my practice as a Licensed Professional Counselor. I apply the things I learned at Evangel on a regular basis in my practice, and have appreciated the quality of the program over the years since my graduation. I believe my training at Evangel exceeded the typical standards of similar programs at other institutions, where certain course material was not included at the Master's level, and I feel well prepared to continue in a doctoral program. I look back at my time as a grad student at Evangel with incredible fondness as I always felt valued and encouraged as a student in the program, and later as a professional in the field. I developed relationships with many of my instructors that remain strong even seven years later. Evangel provides more than just academic training; it provides a rich and rewarding experience that allows its students to integrate, apply, and live what they learn.
School Counseling

School Counselor, Rolla Middle School, Rolla, Missouri
The Masters of School Counseling at Evangel has been pivotal to my formation as an educator and Christ-follower. I can think of no other institution which would value one's personal faith and the impact it has on their calling in their chosen profession. This program does a superb job of informing students of relevant counseling theory and ethics, providing consistent mentoring, and empowering students to incorporate and understand their faith in the context of becoming an outstanding school counselor.
