What About Internship and Graduate School Opportunities?

About 25 percent of APU students go on to graduate school at the University of California, Los Angeles; Loma Linda University; Azusa Pacific University; California State University, Long Beach and Los Angeles; the University of San Diego, and others. Clinical practice is required freshman through senior years, providing the same hands-on experience as typical internships.

“I am glad that the nursing program at APU has such high expectations, because I know it is preparing us to make a difference in whatever setting we are called to serve.”
