“When I was a child, I dreamed of being a Husky at UW. But when it came time to choose a college, I was intimidated by the UW's size—While I know a large university can be the right choice for some people, I found out that I would do better in a smaller community.”

Seattle Pacific University

Seattle Pacific University has a clear purpose: to equip graduates with the competence, character, and courage to engage the culture and change the world. SPU provides nearly 3,800 students with a high-quality, comprehensive education grounded on the gospel of Jesus Christ. A powerful blend of cutting-edge scholarship, thoughtful Christian faith, and extensive urban resources helps prepare these students to become effective change agents in the world.

Of the University's 55 undergraduate majors and 15 graduate degree offerings, some programs are not often found at other Christian institutions, and many have received national acclaim for their quality. In 2005, U.S. News and World Report again ranked Seattle Pacific in the Western Regions' top tier of universities.

Seattle Pacific is located just minutes from downtown Seattle, the largest city in the Pacific Northwest. This beautiful city is an extended classroom for SPU students, allowing them to apply their education to real-world settings through internships, ministry, and cultural and recreational activities.

The best university education unites a student's passion and the world's need. SPU students and graduates are daily bringing their knowledge, skill, and faith to communities across the globe. They can do that because of Seattle Pacific University's commitment to active, positive engagement in the world.
