ou've probably been thinking about it a lot: the choice. Here are five reasons why so many students and their families have invested in an SPU education — and why SPU may just be the right choice for you.
SPU invests in its students.
- In 2011-12, we'll help provide students and their families with more than $80 million in financial aid.
- This year, the average financial assistance SPU provided per student was $25,902.
SPU is known for academic excellence.
- You'll learn from professors who are known for their scholarship and who take a personal interest in students.
- You'll enjoy small classes taught by full-time faculty members, not teaching assistants.
- You'll have the rare opportunity to participate in undergraduate research with your faculty partners.
SPU will prepare you for a career and/or graduate school.
- For example, 100 percent of SPU engineering students were employed within a year of graduation; and 94 percent of pre-professional health students were admitted to medical school or graduate school in their prospective field.
- SPU's Center for Career and Calling will provide you with personal assistance as you choose your future path.
SPU is a place of Christian community.
- A wide range of worship opportunities, events and traditions, and clubs and organizations, build a close-knit, caring environment for learning.
- You'll find comfortable residence halls and apartments, restaurant-style dining, recreation and exercise centers, and student services and support focused on your individual needs.
SPU gives you the tools to make a difference in the world.
- While you're a student, you'll have the chance to get involved in the community, the world, and influence people's lives for the better.
- SPU will help you shape a long-term vision for your life and discover how you can actually change the world.
