HPU welcomes freshman into a culture of scholarly research as soon as they arrive to campus. While other universities focus on senior research projects, HPU presents research opportunities to students throughout their four-year journey.

Learning
Learning
Service learning breaks down the walls of the traditional classroom and brings theoretical concepts to life. Through service learning courses, students are embedded with real-world opportunities that relate to course material. Whether it’s English majors tutoring refugee children in literacy, or strategic communication students producing marketing campaigns for nonprofit organizations, students gain valuable skills and strong connections to their community.

Our goal is to bring people and cultures together, to share their similarities and embrace their differences. Former U.S. Senator J. William Fulbright proclaimed that “International education exchange is the most significant current project designed to continue the process of humanizing mankind to the point, we would hope, that nations can learn to live in peace.”
