Achieving Excellence through Strengths Development
Through a distinct strengths development approach, APU’s Department of Higher Education identifies and nurtures students’ God-given strengths as a foundation for engaging them in the learning process and achieving excellence. Students benefit from a cohort model, growing within a motivated learning community. Our school offers a master’s program with an in-person option at the Azusa Campus as well as a hybrid option (online synchronous plus one in-person residency day per semester) to accommodate working professionals with varying schedules and needs.
