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 advanced 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?
