APU’s School of Humanities and Sciences prepares disciple-scholars for advancd study, civic engagement, vocational success, and a well-lived life.

We offer academic programs of excellence that span the humanities and STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) disciplines, including a wide array of major and minor undergraduate degree programs, courses in the university’s General Education program, discipline-specific student honor societies, and graduate degree programs.
Faculty Spotlight
Here at APU, we can tackle science with a very holistic view, and we integrate our faith whenever possible. In my chemistry classroom, I will ask the question: Just because we can do something doesn’t mean we should—what about sustainability? What about stewardship? What about our Christian values?
