About This School

Evangel University is a private nonprofit institution located in Springfield, Missouri with approximately 1,229 undergraduate students enrolled. Evangel University has an open or accessible admissions process, with an acceptance rate of 72%. The average net price after financial aid is $18,669 per year. The graduation rate is 65%, and the typical graduate earns $40,900 within 10 years of enrollment.

Evangel University is a private Christian university and seminary in Springfield, Missouri, United States. It is affiliated with the Assemblies of God Christian denomination, which is also headquartered in Springfield. The campus sits on 80 acres that were originally part of O'Reilly General Hospital.

This is a solid option for students seeking a tight-knit Assemblies of God Christian community, where the relatively low net price of $18,705/year and modest median debt of $17,495 make it financially reasonable compared to many private schools. That said, the 65% graduation rate signals that one in three students doesn't finish, which is worth asking the admissions office about directly. Median earnings of $40,900 a decade out are modest, so students should be intentional about their major and career planning from day one.
