While Seattle Pacific does not require a profession of Christian faith for admission, Seattle Pacific's Christian identity inspires our vision to Engage the Culture and Change the World. We encourage all students to live out SPU’s vision. It means that we pursue education not just to get a degree, but also to be changed — and to change the world — for the better. How does SPU’s vision align with your desires for college? How does your own faith perspective or personal story intersect with SPU’s vision?

Christendom College offers many compelling reasons that have increased my desire to attend this great school. Some of the things that I love about my high school are found at Christendom, such as its challenging, Classical curriculum. I simply loved the classes I was able to attend at the Summer Program and found that I felt at home in those lectures, which were deeply rooted in our Catholic faith. The lectures helped us examine their relevance in our own lives and encouraged us to always seek the truth. I observed that this inspired the whole class to consider the situations and messages in the themes we discuss in class, such as the value of friendship or how history shapes our identity.

Including my spiritual experience at CBU, I will be able to understand my religion more. Including, that all the staff members being 100% Christian, I could ask a question that I may have and the could help me find an answer. Having to attend the school's chapel I know that I can get closer to God and understand his word, and be able to follow in his footsteps that will help me grow as an adult. With this spiritual growth from attending CBU, will be vast and helpful with me growing into a mature and responsible

The organization I will focus my assessment on is Southern New Hampshire University (SNHU). SNHU is a private, nonprofit, accredited institution with more than 70,000 online students, where I work as a specialized Military Academic Advisor. Southern New Hampshire University, founded in 1932 as the New Hampshire School of Accounting and Secretarial Science, has evolved into one of the fastest growing and most dynamic private, nonprofit universities in the nation (About us, 2017). There are many departments and programs at SNHU, but I will focus on my position as a fully online Military Academic Advisor. The online programs fall under the College of Continuing and Online Education (COCE). I began training in October 2016, and have retained a lot of the latest information and built on that with continued training and mentorship. Our mission says “We exist to make high-quality education accessible and affordable for all. Through our innovative culture and unwavering commitment to student success, we empower students to transform their lives and the lives of those around them” (About us, 2017).

I am interested in attending Azusa Pacific because I believe that the University will afford me the with the opportunity to achieve both my academic and spiritual goals that I wish to accomplish. Attending the University would allow me to continue learning and growing in a Christian environment as I have attended Christian schools the majority of my k-12 years. Attending Azusa Pacific will help me grow as an individual and it will help me uncover my passions in life, as well as strengthen my relationship with God.. My ultimate goals of life are to find happiness and freedom and I believe that I will be able to reach these goal along with others if accepted into Azusa Pacific. The keys to happiness and freedom are love, family, friends, support,

I came to Concordia due to its quiet, laid back nature campus. The $15,000 a year for being Lutheran and it being only an hour and a half away from my home doesn’t hurt either. My hometown happens to be on the Island, it’s called Massapequa. That is where I live with my parents and three sisters, two of which are my triplets, something not many people know. As for my major I plan on majoring in middle education, grades 7-9. This is something I had considered before but, I settled on this after the school offered extra scholarships if I went on this path, and it was also something that felt right for me. I am a part of the Men’s Glee Club as well as gospel knights, this alludes to my obvious love for music. Currently I want to pass all my first

The reason why I choose Presbyterian College because it is a small campus that is in a small town. Not only that it is a small campus in a small town but it is close by to where I live. I went to a small high school, York Preparatory Academy, and I live in a small town of Chester, SC, so Presbyterian College was the perfect fit for me. Also, PC has small class sizes. Having small class sizes helps me be successful in the classroom and get to know my professors better. Another reason why I chose Presbyterian College is because it has a community feel to it. Everyone you meet at Presbyterian College has that kind spirt. Another reason why I choose this wonderful school is because of the wonderful factuality. The faculty at PC is very helpful,

Coe College’s students each identity into their own various categories and subgroups of one another. These groups can be labeled by the individual's’ race, heritage, location, or more specific groups such as what sports the individual plays, what clubs, or what they value the most. Every person on Coe College’s campus is unique in their own way and if a narrow mind is looked upon an individual, it may seem that there is no common group between anyone. It is not until we extend past the differences to find commonalities that we can look upon to find common ground while still respecting the differences that make any person different from the other. As a member of Coe College’s most diverse class, it is essential to be more united than divided

Personally, I find the GCU doctrinal statement, Four Pillars, and Christian Worldview to be a profound take on college. It is quite similar to my undergraduate education as I attended a small, private, women’s, Methodist, liberal arts college that prided itself on its “four C’s” (courage, commitment, competence, and confidence) of education. With that said, this is a learning community that I am familiar with and quite fond of. I think what sets GCU as a faith-based education with its Four Pillars apart from non-faith based is that it focuses on my needs and being as a whole, instead of just focusing on my education. It spotlights my spiritual comfort and relationship with God, my mental wellbeing; while the Four Pillars focuses on: “Christian

The structure a faith-based institution gives, allows one to maintain a higher grade point average than a normal institution one might see. ADU would allow me to access the knowledge I have yet to learn in faith and academics. Along with such an institution as ADU, it would simply allow one to create lifelong friends who have and support the same beliefs one might have. When selecting an institution seeing that more than likely the friends and professors that I cross paths with will support my same beliefs is an important factor. I will have the ability to grow and learn with like-minded peers and professors. Being among those who share my beliefs will make it easier to seek spiritual and educational guidance. Meeting different people with different lifestyles will broaden my worldview without sacrificing what I believe in; these people I meet may help develop my own

The diversity at Notre Dame is inspiring. There are so many people of different ethnic backgrounds, religions, and origins. It is extremely fascinating for each person to learn about the ways of another and how everyone's diversity makes them unique. The diversity of everyone at Notre Dame is accepted and is used to learn about others around world. Before attending Notre Dame, I attended a school that was primarily of one race and was not able to learn about different types of people. At Notre Dame, I have made friends from different parts of the world and have been able to learn about their homeland and culture from their stories. It is heartwarming that how at Notre Dame the diversity of everyone is welcome and no one is excluded from the

I would like to get the experience outside of the United States and travel possibly to South America to learn about a different culture. Doing this I think will open my eyes to what is outside my usual culture and make me appreciate what I have. Having an opportunity to learn outside of my comfort zone would give me the courage to try new activities. Concordia emphasizes the importance of learning and growing by pushing yourself out of your comfort zone, which I plan to embrace. Pushing myself outside of that zone will overall help me become a more active leader and well-rounded student that I plan to attain. While at Concordia I plan on growing spiritually as well. Coming from a Catholic background it was always the same teaching almost everyday and is very structured which caused me to wander. During my time in college I want to find my own identity in my faith and grow spiritually. Another important aspect of the learning at Concordia that I like is the search for your vocation. During this time I believe I will grow and become passionate in an area, which will help me really choose and be positive of what I want to do later in life. Whether it is nursing currently what I am majoring in or if it is something completely different than science I am open minded and ready for a change if it comes. I feel it is important to be passionate in what your calling is or else you will not flourish that is an ideal advocated in Concordia’s Lutheran learning
