Dr. Clint Bryan

Dr. Clint Bryan, Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, has taught at Northwest University since 2015 in the English department.

Clint earned a Ph.D. in rhetoric, composition, and linguistics from Middle Tennessee State University in 2016.  He has been ordained with the Assemblies of God since 1992 and has served in various campus ministry and local church roles in the Midwest and mid-South for 30+ years. He brings these two areas of scholarly interest–the Church and public discourse–together in his published research into sermons, televangelists, and the online preaching phenomenon. He has a coauthored book on academic letters of recommendation from the University of Michigan Press (coming in January 2024). Under review currently at that same press is a second book focused on the ways that professors learn intuitively to write in the highly specialized forms that open doors for future grants, fellowships, promotion, and tenure.

Clint and his wife Sally have been married for over 34 years; they have a grown daughter, who is married to an NU alumnus. They are crazy over their terrier Renata, a rescue from Mexico City.
