Our Commitment To Faith, Life & Learning. Los Angeles Pacific University teaches and serves from a Christian worldview through a holistic understanding and practice of promoting faith, life, and learning. We believe the entire LAPU community is called to contribute to cultivating hope through learning and we accomplish this through our core values of being Exemplary, Caring, and focused on Learning. We are committed to preparing individuals not only with the skills and attitudes to thrive in their community and workplace, but also to point the way to something bigger - to the ultimate hope that is in Jesus Christ. As it relates to students, LAPU conceives the promotion of faith, life, and learning as engaging students in learning (through curriculum design, instruction, and student support) that reflects the Christian worldview of LAPU and culminates in the realization of hope in our students. As a result of this process (through their interactions and study at LAPU) our students will be able to: Apply a Christian worldview to their life and work in the world; Articulate how and in what ways their life journeys connect to God's story; Engage with diverse faith perspectives within the learning community at LAPU; and, Recognize God's work in the world through all academic disciplines. Learn More Don’t take our word for it, here’s what students are saying. As a first-generation college student from a Mexican family, earning my MBA at LAPU was a big milestone. I faced challenges alone but stayed motivated to set an example. My family’s support kept me going during tough times. The online format let me work and build my business while studying. LAPU taught me to keep Christ at the center of all I do. Francisco Anaya Master of Business Administration As a returning college student and single mother of three small children, I knew my educational journey would be a challenge, but I have not travelled alone since day one at LAPU. God led me to LAPU and he has not left my side since. I am the first member in my immediate family to obtain a college degree, and my children will follow in my footsteps. Tiffany Ross B.A. In Liberal Studies God made sure that every door opened for me to attend LAPU. I was connected with a fantastic Success Coach, and all of my classes have been great. I believe that God is the key to my success here at LAPU. I often pray over my schooling and that I continue to walk in God’s will.
