APU graduates are known for professional excellence,
the highest ethical standards, and their desire to make a
difference in the world. This preparation begins the day
students arrive on campus for Orientation and continues
through the day they receive their diploma. The experience
is one of a kind. Throughout all undergraduate and
graduate programs, faculty pour their scholarship into
students, creating an unmatched learning experience.

Azusa Pacific is an evangelical, Christian university committed to putting God First.
While students do not have to be Christian to attend APU, our faith is part of
everything we do on campus. Faculty pray with students and encourage dialogue
about the Christian faith in the classroom. As part of the undergraduate experience,
students attend chapel three times a week. Seven weekly chapel options, including
International Chapel, offer diverse worship experiences to choose from, and renowned
speakers, pastors, and authors provide biblical, relevant, challenging messages.

Department of Biology and Chemistry, is one of many
faculty-mentors at Azusa Pacific. Lectures, research
discussions, lab work, barbeques, and cups of coffee define
her style as she seeks to prepare students holistically. Her
students leave APU with a strong academic foundation,
