“APU’s small classes help professors facilitate meaningful discussion and collaborative work among students. One of the professors literally wrote the book on strengths-based education, a revolutionary approach for me. Learning this concept of focusing on strengths has been the single most significant aspect of my education, and is something I have already begun to implement on my campus. When I become an administrator, this will be an integral part of my leadership philosophy.”
