The goal of APU Global’s promotion of faith, life, and learning is for students to be able to apply a Christian worldview to their life and work. In order to do that, students must be able to describe the basic characteristics of a Christian worldview and understand how it compares and contrasts with their own.

What applying a Christian worldview means
A Christian worldview is not a separate subject bolted onto a curriculum.
It is a way of asking questions: What is a person worth? What is work for? What do we owe the people affected by our decisions? Applying that worldview means bringing those questions into a marketing plan, a treatment note, a lesson plan, or a budget, the ordinary places where convictions become visible.
How it shows up in coursework
- Ethics cases examined against a biblical understanding of human dignity
- Faculty who explain how faith informs their professional judgment, not just their beliefs
- Assignments that ask students to apply course concepts to their own workplace
- Reflection built into programs across every discipline, not only in general education
The outcome we aim for
Graduates should be able to describe the basic contours of a Christian worldview, evaluate competing perspectives fairly, and act with integrity in a professional setting where nobody is checking. That is a formation goal, and it is measured through student work over the length of a program.
The online application is free and only takes a few minutes.
