Faculty
APU professors are respected scholars and leaders in higher education who bring rich, firsthand experience in their field and a deep respect for those who continue to advance their education. Because they understand the busy lives and schedules of their students, professors make each class and project relevant, dynamic, and applicable. Professor/student mentoring relationships form the backbone of APU programs, one of many Azusa Pacific University distinctives.
