The following assumptions are basic to the Evangel University programs:
- The pursuit of truth, regardless of where it is found, is a basic commitment of the University. As a community of scholars and students, the University seeks to discover, apply, and communicate that truth.
- An individual’s personality grows and develops through commitment to Christ and the search for truth.
- Biblical truth should be central and integrated into all the curricular, cocurricular, extracurricular, and living experiences of students.
- Faith and reason are viewed as complementary, and both are necessary in the search for truth. Thus, students can integrate biblical Christianity with humanities, arts, sciences, behavioral sciences, social sciences and specialized subjects.
- In teaching, learning, and serving, quality is fundamental to all areas of the University. The entire University community accepts ownership in the processes of developing the academic, spiritual, and social lives of Evangel students.
