The Evangel University Department of Natural and Applied Sciences is dedicated to the spiritual, academic and social growth of every student. The department’s purpose is to provide an excellent scientific education that is thoroughly integrated with the University’s emphasis on the development of strong Christian character. Within this framework, students must contend with new scientific, social, ethical and technological challenges. Students learn to communicate technical concepts clearly and effectively and exhibit analytical thinking and problem-solving skills. Our pre-PA curriculum is tailored to provide the knowledge that students need for graduate school. Most pre-PA students choose a major in biology or biological chemistry. Since most PA programs require extensive medical care experience for admission into their programs, pre-PA students are encouraged to arrange for as many hours of medical care experience as possible. We assist our students in helping to gain these hours, which can include working as an aide or shadowing a physician assistant.
