Parents and Families in the Loop

The Center for Learning provides support and strategies to foster student academic success. It is a campus resource every student can use — whether your student is struggling in class or wants to improve current test scores

Tickets are on sale now for the 2018 Sacred Sounds of Christmas. For nearly 20 years, this concert has featured SPU’s Music Department's nationally recognized student and faculty musicians playing the best of sacred Advent music from around the world.

SPU Voices caught up with premed students in Seattle Pacific’s BioCORE Scholars program as they explored downtown Seattle after class last spring.

Students must submit a new FAFSA each academic year, and families can already begin applying for financial aid for the 2019–20 academic year.

If you’re considering a next step in your career, you may want to know that you can take up to three pre-MBA core courses as a pre-qualified student in SPU’s flexible MBA program.

Professor of Biology Cara Wall-Scheffler recently had her research featured about how geographic location and gender make a difference in how men and women walk in The New York Times.

The Seattle Pacific community gathered in Royal Brougham Pavilion in mid October to hear this year’s Day of Common Learning speaker A.J. Swoboda’s keynote address, “Green Jesus: Embracing a Sustainable Faith.” Watch the video.
