School of Humanities and Sciences
Become a Critical Thinker Prepared to Impact the World
APU’s School of Humanities and Sciences prepares disciple-scholars for advancd study, civic engagement, vocational success, and a well-lived life. Taught by faculty-mentors genuinely invested in their students’ journey, this is a place where students explore and live out truth in a vibrant, collaborative learning community.
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?
Vice Provost for Academic Servies and Associate Professor, Director, Center for Research in Science, Director, Environmental Studies Program; Faculty Fellow, Honors College
