Melissa Johnson serves as the Associate Provost of Undergraduate Education at Biola University. She previously led the School of Humanities and Social Sciences as Dean for seven years, with a deep commitment to the development of biblically centered, transformational Christian liberal arts education. Prior to that, she spent sixteen years teaching in Torrey Honors College, where she guided students through its interdisciplinary curriculum, mentored both students and faculty, and served as Associate Director. Her research primarily investigates the dynamics of literature and theology in early modern English literature, and her interests range across genres, centuries, and practices that enrich the Christian life and imagination.
