The Government program is built around classroom lecture, study, discussion and real-world experiences. The program is focused on six primary categories of courses: American politics and government, comparative politics and government, international relations, judicial process and constitutional law, political philosophy, and public administration and policy. We believe these fields of study provide for a solid foundation of governmental theories and practice. These areas of study are based upon course lectures, reading within each subject and opportunities for class discussion.

Beyond course work, the Government program provides excellent opportunities to study government through personal experience. Each spring, History and Government majors have the opportunity to spend a week and a half in Washington, D.C., through the Washington Studies Program. This trip allows for learning practical skills while interning in a government office. We also encourage students to participate in political clubs and organizations on campus.

We believe that Evangel offers the best path for integrating your faith and study of government in a way that will prepare you to interact with and lead in tomorrow’s political world.
