Discover your purpose

At Spring Arbor University, you won't just get an excellent college education - you'll find what it means to live in community with others, develop a truly meaningful relationship with God, and discover the lifelong purpose, which God has placed on your life. Our graduates leave campus possessing the tools and vision needed to impact this world for Christ. Whether it is working on the foreign mission field, working with inner city nonprofits, attending seminary or cultivating a godly family, our alumni can attest to the life changing impact SAU has had on their lives.

Become a lifelong learner

We take academic scholarship very seriously at SAU. As a liberal arts university, we introduce you to a broad spectrum of ideas and concepts. You won't get lost in a sea of people, either, with a 1:15 faculty-to-student ratio, and a faculty that is passionate about their subjects and their students. On top of everything, we give you an outlet for applying what you're learning to real life. Because SAU espouses a global perspective, students are required to spend at least three weeks in a foreign culture, gaining a better understanding of the world around them and learning, first-hand, how to be a world-changer.

Find community

Get an authentic college experience at SAU! Engage in fun, wacky college stuff, but also find opportunities to grow in your relationship with others and with Christ. We truly model what it means to live as a community of believers. Our student development staff is ready to make your college experience incredible and the friendships you make will likely last a lifetime. With a wide range of activities and student-led organizations right at your fingertips, you'll never want for something to do.  One of the best expressions of this tight-knit community is our chapel service, which happens twice a week. Here the entire campus unites together under the banner of Christ to worship Him, learn about Him from world-renown speakers, and commit their lives to Him.

Easily afford college

SAU has a reputation for being one of the most affordable Christian universities. U.S. News & World Report consistently recognizes SAU as an institution that helps students graduate with the least amount of debt. And with a 75 percent freshman retention rate, we know we are doing the best job we can both in making college affordable and meaningful.
