Recognizing God's work

One of the stated outcomes of APU Global’s approach to faith, life, and learning is that students will be able to recognize God’s work in the world through all academic disciplines. This outcome is based on our understanding of God, the world he has created, and the nature of work itself.

Dr. Wayne Herman, Vice President and CAO, shares how students will be able to recognize God’s work in the world through all academic disciplines.

Faith integration across the curriculum

Recognizing God's work through academic disciplines means treating every field, mathematics, public health, literature, leadership, as a place where truth can be found and stewardship practiced. It is not about adding devotional content to a syllabus. It is about faculty who can articulate why their discipline matters within a Christian understanding of the world.

How faculty approach it

  • Naming the assumptions a discipline makes about human beings and value
  • Connecting professional standards to a moral framework, not just compliance
  • Inviting students to ask harder questions than a technical curriculum requires
  • Modeling scholarship and faith as complementary rather than competing

What students take away

Graduates describe a shift in how they see their work: the nurse, the analyst, and the teacher each doing something that matters beyond the task. That perspective tends to outlast the specific content of any single course.

Meet the faculty, explore applying a Christian worldview, or browse areas of study.
