THE ACADEMIC PROGRAM 
         
        Scholarship Informed by Faith         
        The clear Christian commitment of ºù«ÍÞÊÓÆµ has
remained the same since 1891. The institution continues
to believe that the finest education is informed by Christian
faith.  
As a university, Seattle Pacific has a mission of intellectual
  inquiry. Believing that the Christian faith calls it to excellence —
  both intellectually and spiritually — the University actively strives
  to provide the highest quality education available. In keeping with
  this, academic freedom and integrity are highly prized. 
What does this mean to students? It means that they are taught
  by professors who approach their discipline from a Christian
  perspective. But students are not told what to believe. Instead,
  through the educational process of inquiry, discussion, and experience,
  they are encouraged to develop a mature, personal faith.   
Students are challenged at Seattle Pacific. And the University seeks
  to create an environment that balances freedom and support as
  they grapple with difficult questions. The goal is to help students
  emerge with an even deeper Christian conviction and a desire for
  Christian leadership and service.
