Azusa Pacific
University provides a solid
foundation on which to build
positional statements of the
institution as an evangelical
Christian university. We
document a strong Christian
commitment and form the core of
the increasingly far-reaching
nature and scope of the APU
community. We give expression to
a strong, clear, unswervingly
evangelical Christian worldview
that permeates the university
and guides its activity. As its
guiding center, the university
is able to grow more effectively
in the confidence that its
Christian nature will flourish.
Our documents have been part of
the growing history of APU serve
as a cohesive core. Each evolves
from the other, providing
consistency and natural
coordination that demonstrates
the university’s worldview as
thoroughly Christian.
Bachelor of Science in
Organizational Leadership
The new online version of the
Bachelor of Science in
Organizational Leadership
accelerated degree completion
program (BSOL Online) is
designed for adult learners
wishing to complete their
undergraduate degree without the
on-campus class requirement.
Through the online format,
students who may not have access
to APU's main campus or regional
centers can still experience the
same level of quality curriculum
and experienced instructional
delivery from any location.
Whether due to
professional/personal conflicts
or geographic location, students
can accomplish their degree
goals through the identical
curriculum and cohort model that
has been so successful in the
traditional BSOL Program.
The APU experience is designed
to uniquely facilitate
development through solid
intellectual inquiry, informed
decision-making, and the
application of ethical
principles. A focus on Christian
values and ethics is infused
into the curriculum and the
development of learners by
providing direction, purpose,
and evaluation of personal and
professional life actions.
Candidates for this BSOL Online
Program are experienced adults
looking to complete a
business-oriented bachelor's
degree while maintaining the
flexibility to address the
demands of juggling job,
families, and professional
development.
In this accelerated program, new
courses begin every five to six
weeks. Successful students in
this online format clearly
recognize that, while there is
flexibility in asynchronous
learning, a strong commitment to
consistent participation,
communication, and completion of
all work is critical. In order
to ensure student success, a
Student Orientation course, part
of a non-credit proseminar, is
mandatory for all online
students prior to the start of
their online course/cohort.
Through this online program,
students will engage with the
CAPS staff in one-on-one
communication for academic and
financial advising. A "student
commons" will also be available
to facilitate community within
the cohort and between cohorts,
faculty, and staff.
