Why it matters

Why engaging difference matters at a Christian university

APU Global admits students of all faiths and none. That is a deliberate choice: an education that never encounters disagreement produces graduates who cannot explain what they believe or listen well to anyone who differs.

Commitment

Commitment without coercion

APU Global is unapologetically Christ-centered. Students are not required to share that commitment, and no one is graded on belief. What is expected is intellectual honesty and respect, the same standard applied to faculty and staff.

The online application is free and only takes a few minutes.
