Faculty Development
Faculty are called to teaching excellence and to scholarship permeated by their Christian faith. Recognizing the need for continual growth and improvement, APU supports and encourages its faculty to develop professionally, and commits to fostering an atmosphere wherein academics are not simply taught, but lived.
Toward this end, in addition to a variety of colloquia, workshops, learning communities, and other resources, the following professional development graduate course is offered through the Office of Faith Integration. This course is designed for faculty, but it can be taken for elective credit by graduate students if approved by a program director and the instructor.
