To engage the culture and change the world, our graduates must be scientifically literate. The world is experiencing an intellectual and social revolution driven by rapid advances in science and technology, and Seattle Pacific University has set out to offer students the finest science education available.
That is why we have invested significant resources in the sciences since 2003. The results are a new, award-winning Science Building for the study of biology, chemistry, biochemistry, and psychology;
a renovated facility for the study of computer science, engineering, mathematics, and physics; and a science faculty with exceptional credentials, experience, and connections within the scientific community. We now have the largest-ever enrollment in the sciences at SPU, and our students are excelling in graduate school and the professions — a 94 percent medical school acceptance rate for premed graduates is one indicator of this success. With sizable grants from the National Science Foundation, the Murdock Trust, and The Boeing Company, Seattle Pacific is also becoming a leader in new ways to teach science.
SPU not only trains professional scientists and science teachers, but also helps all students become scientifically literate citizens. We aim to equip students with both the competence and character needed for leadership in a rapidly changing world.
• Associate Professor of Biology Cynthia Fitch was interviewed in a documentary for The Learning Channel on cloning.
• SPU's new Science Building houses both undergraduate research and teaching laboratories. Students have the opportunity to collaborate with faculty on research and to present their findings at undergraduate research conferences.
