New brand strengthens the connection between two independently accredited institutions while expanding access to Christ-centered online education

GLENDORA, Calif., Oct. 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Los Angeles Pacific University (LAPU) is now Azusa Pacific University Global (APU Global), marking a new chapter for the university and strengthening its connection to Azusa Pacific University (APU).

LAPU becomes APU Global, bringing fully online, Christ-centered education under the Azusa Pacific University name.

APU Global is the fully online university within the APU ecosystem, offering 100% online, asynchronous associate’s, bachelor’s, and master’s degree programs designed to meet the needs of working adults and learners wherever they are. APU continues to provide excellent on-campus and hybrid educational experiences.

Together, APU and APU Global provide students with distinct educational pathways under a shared APU brand and a common commitment to Christ-centered, faith-integrated education.

“By aligning under the APU name, we’re creating a recognized, powerful identity for online learners,” said Jay Goin, president of APU Global. “This reduces market confusion and expands our reach to a wider audience, making it easier than ever for students to find the exact education path that fits them best.”

“This move enables us to present a unified brand to the marketplace and amplify our impact,” said Adam J. Morris, president of Azusa Pacific University. “It ensures that whether a student is seeking a premier residential and hybrid experience on our campuses or a specialized world-class online journey, they find their home within the APU ecosystem.”

The transition from LAPU to APU Global strategically leverages the unique strengths of both institutions, expands their reach, and makes it easier for students to find the educational experience that best fits their goals and lives.

Two Institutions, One Shared Mission

While APU and APU Global now share a unified brand presence, they remain two distinct, independently accredited institutions. Each institution maintains its own leadership, academic governance, faculty handbooks, and operating structures.

The partnership is grounded in a shared commitment to providing a Christ-centered, faith-integrated educational experience.

“Our God First mission will guide this partnership, ensuring we continue to deliver a top Christ-centered education to the students we serve,” Morris said.

A Clearer Path for Online Learners

APU Global serves students seeking a fully online education through asynchronous learning designed to provide flexibility for working adults and learners wherever they are located. As the #1 Christian university for alumni earnings in the Council for Christian Colleges & Universities, APU will continue to focus on its on-campus and hybrid educational experiences.

The partnership also creates opportunities for APU and APU Global to leverage online resources to enhance the experience for existing and future learners.

For current LAPU students, the transition to APU Global is seamless, allowing them to continue their day-to-day educational experience without disruption. Students continue taking their online courses, receiving support from dedicated faculty and staff, and progressing toward their degrees as planned. The primary change is the transition of the university’s name and visual identity to APU Global.

About Azusa Pacific University

Since 1899, Azusa Pacific University, a top Christian higher education institution in the nation, has helped students discover their higher calling to impact the world for Christ. Featuring world-class faculty, an APU education leads to lifelong transformation and eternal impact. APU offers 59 bachelor’s degrees, 34 master’s degrees, 35 certificates and credentials, and 7 doctoral programs to more than 7,000 students at the university’s main campus in Azusa, several regional locations across Southern California, and online.

About Azusa Pacific University Global
