Our Mission
Christ-centered, mission focused.
Jesus Christ is rooted at the center of everything at Spring Arbor University. Learn more about our mission, purpose, promise to students, and commitment to faith.
Liberal Arts Education
Connecting the world of knowledge to the world of faith.
A liberal arts education equips students with critical thinking skills, problem-solving abilities, a broad base of knowledge, and the ability to express and reason. At SAU, this education is elevated by incorporating Christ as the central perspective for learning.
Spiritual Life
Our twice-weekly Chapel services bring our community together for an hour of worship, prayer, and hearing the Word. Although Chapel is required for on-campus students, most find it a favorite part of life at SAU, appreciating the sense of unity and uplifting atmosphere.
Campus Life
Our campus, located in beautiful Spring Arbor, Michigan, is the home to our traditional undergraduate students. Come see for yourself the unique and vibrant community here at SAU!
Opportunity to Travel
We believe learning doesn't just happen in the classroom, which is why 100% of campus undergraduate students have the opportunity to travel abroad as part of our standard curriculum.
