HPU embodies values-based education throughout its campus.
1. EVERYTHING HAS A PURPOSE
From the 28 botanical gardens with 3,000 taxa of plants, to the inspirational quotes and historic sculptures, every aspect of HPU’s campus is strategically designed to surround students with learning opportunities.
2. IT’S FILLED WITH HEROES, MODELS AND MENTORS
Every freshman begins their HPU journey with the guidance of a Success Coach. Faculty serve as mentors and advisors, staff members provide support, and both model values such as joy, learning, generosity and service.
3. LEARNING SPACES REFLECT INDUSTRY STANDARDS
Communication majors broadcast live shows in the full-size TV studio. Game design students create new worlds with virtual reality technology. Sales majors practice their pitching in sales labs that mimic real-world settings. Health science and pharmacy students conduct research in spaces that rival major research institutions. Education and nonprofit leadership students engage in local classrooms and community centers. And in Cottrell Hall, glass walls and collaborative areas prepare students for Silicon Valley-style work environments.
4. ENERGY ABOUNDS
There’s always something to do at HPU. There are film screenings, guest speakers, athletic games, more than 100 clubs and organizations, volunteer opportunities, religious life events, concerts, theater performances, Greek life philanthropy efforts and more. The result is an engaging environment in which students get involved, build relationships, discover their passions and are empowered to reach their potential.
5. HPU IS CONSTANTLY TRANSFORMING
As the acreage of HPU has more than quadrupled, nine academic schools, six of which are new in the last decade, provide students with relevant majors. The Nido and Mariana Qubein Arena, Conference Center and Hotel, the Wanek School of Natural Sciences and the Caine Conservatory are all new facilities that offer even more resources for the HPU community.
