THE ACADEMIC PROGRAM
Scholarship Informed by Faith
The clear Christian commitment of Seattle Pacific University has
remained the same since 1891. The institution continues
to believe that the finest education is informed by Christian
faith.
As a university, Seattle Pacific has a mission of intellectual
inquiry. Believing that the Christian faith calls it to excellence �
both intellectually and spiritually � the University actively strives
to provide the highest quality education available. In keeping with
this, academic freedom and integrity are highly prized.
What does this mean to students? It means that they are taught
by professors who approach their discipline from a Christian
perspective. But students are not told what to believe. Instead,
through the educational process of inquiry, discussion, and experience,
they are encouraged to develop a mature, personal faith.
Students are challenged at SPU. And the University seeks
to create an environment that balances freedom and support as
they grapple with difficult questions. The goal is to help students
emerge with an even deeper Christian conviction and a desire for
Christian leadership and service.
