Azusa Pacific University Reviews

"APU offers a very holistic, comprehensive, and service-centered approach to nursing. The professors are excellent and not only teach well, they model superb nursing care. The 4+ year course is demanding, but one emerges well equipped to enter any nursing specialty with confidence and current knowledge practice. Clinically skills are not deferred until undergraduate prerequisites are completed, but taught in the freshman year and applied in the second semester. Thus, even though baccalaureate nursing programs have a reputation (among nurses working in the field) for lacking in clinical time, nothing could be farther from the truth. Student nurses at APU are not only exposed to various specialties, but clinical rotations tend to be longer and more in-depth due to the length of the program. In addition, a social-service focus is very much emphasized, so that their nurses are not so much poised to 'get out there and make money' but motivated to seek the improvement of health in under-served communities.Read Less"

"APU is a great school to attend. Campus isn't too big or small allowing students to get from one side of the campus to the other in a short amount of time. Faculty is available anytime for any questions or guidance needed for students. Classroom sizes are small which allows for better interaction with teachers."

"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."

"The advantage is that they provide a 4 year degree that allows you to become a professional starting at entry level for second degree students. The the disadvantage is that it is very accelerated and keeps you very busy and you can't work. Therefore, you must be financially prepared for 4 years."

"I am attending the campus in San Diego and really like it. The class sizes are small and the professors are very approachable and respond quickly to questions. Financial aid was made available to me right after I completed my FAFSA and I received a separate letter with all kinds of options. Although I declined them, I felt that it was nice that they were trying to help in that regard. Every time I have a question, the professors, administrative personnel, and even the dean reply promptly."
