"The Masters of Divinity Program at Azusa Pacific University (APU) is as interdependent as the world. In particular, "an important feature of the program is [its] intentional integration of academic and experimental components" that will prepare leaders for vocational ministry in our diverse and technological world. As a result of our intricate society, APU has proactively designed a program that will equip students to meet future demands and to resolve problems that are expected in this life. From integrated courses to supervised ministry, the Divinity Program at APU is a reflection of its forward-thinking faculty and their response to global interdependence."

"Azusa Pacific University is a school who truly cares about their students. They provide numerous resources to set students up for success after graduation. Resources include, but are not limited to, interview preparation, resume assistance and job fairs. Each professor I had at the university was a professional who worked in the field I was studying: school counseling. This allowed me to gain additional networking contacts and learn from people who had first hand experience what the field of school counseling was like. Through my professors, I gained an internship opportunity, a wealth of knowledge, and future contacts if I ever need assistance. Each class had assignments that were directly related to my future career of school counseling. By going to Azusa Pacific University, I feel I will be able to walk into a new school as a counselor and be confident I can perform my job."

"I am currently enrolled in the Marriage and Family Therapy graduate program at Azusa Pacific University. I researched several school for months before I decided on this school and program. This school is faith-based, and the faculty advisors, both student and professional, were great! They were able to answer all my questions, direct me to great resources, and were affordable compared to other private schools."

"Azusa Pacific University was a great college to attend. While getting my undergrad everything ran pretty smooth. I am now getting a graduate's degree. The classes are about the same, however Azusa seems a lot less organized now. I have a hard time talking to my counselor about my classes and money issues. I would recommend this school, but only for an undergrad."

"I believe that APU is an excellent school. It has great standards for students. The professors are very helpful and always available for any questions or concerns. The only con for me specifically, is that I am a single mother, therefore, all tuition cost and books are a real burden."

"My time at Azusa Pacific University Online RN to BSN program was the best. The professors were very helpful and the content of the classes were appropriate. I felt the integration of Christian values was very well done. I strongly recommend this accelerated program for the seasoned RN looking to advance his/her career."

"This was a quality school at which to receive a music degree. I feel that the music groups I was involved in, as well as the education classes I took prepared my well to become a music teacher. The only area lacking were the pedagogy classes on how to play the different instruments in the woodwind, brass, string and percussion families. I am sure that the pedagogy classes have improved since 2000."

"While the various regional centers make obtaining an education more convenient and accessible, the cost of attendance and the living expenses in the surrounding areas can hinder one's ability to succeed. There is limited financial aid in terms of grants and scholarships offered to graduate students unlike other private institutions and state schools in the area. Faculty are kind and available for their students, and they are also experts in their fields who can draw from various real-world experiences to add to the classroom learning."

"Good school but the politics get annoying. Chapel 3 times a week is excessive and Housing is currently charging me for leaving dust in my apartment when I thoroughly cleaned it before I left. I wish I'd gone to a community college and then transferred here."

"The pros of my graduate program are that there is a lot of growth opportunities. Job search is not as challenging and everyone I know who has completed the program has successfully found their dream jobs and passion. The cons to my program is that it take 4 years to complete the program if you go to school full time. Another pro is that the environment you are in while in school really helps you focus and trust the faculty with any challenge you may have while going through the program. A God-centered environment has allowed me to open my heart to not only the people around me but be able to show my passion through my field work."

"The program has been fantastic! It's allowed me to work full-time while working on my PhD. The accessibility to faculty is outstanding, and I have made lifelong friends at Azusa. The coursework is not for the faint of heart, but if you're ready to actually feel and know that you earned your PhD once you've graduated then Azusa is for you. I am so thankful for my experience, and I am a better person for having attended."

"I am currently enrolled at APU for the post-master's certificate for PMHNP. One of the most positive aspect of this program is the school's ability to place their students for clinical rotations or internships. This provides great relief for me as I would not have to worry about looking for placement. Another strong point is the faculty's and graduate professional center's support and availability to meet with me. So far, I have not found anything negative about the program specifically. Although I wish the school offers the core courses at other campuses, not just the West Campus."

"The Doctorate of Physical therapy program is a rigorous and rewarding program. The class size is small so you get to know your classmates really well and the professors are always accessible and interested in the students well-being. The Christian atmosphere adds a different, yet interesting perspective to one's daily experiences on campus"
