An education at Point Loma Nazarene University is characterized by the intentional interrelationship of the life of the mind, the development of character and social graces, and spiritual formation for a life of service. Thus, University life includes an array of activities and experiences designed deliberately to be seamless. Academic study becomes an act of one’s “reasonable spiritual worship,” community life and social relationships move in the context of a family that is intent on loving God with all one’s “heart, soul, mind, and strength.” Faith is seen not as a compartmentalized activity but as a way of life that embraces love for humanity and life-long learning. Realizing that students spend more time out of class and formal academic settings than in class, the University provides a wide variety of opportunities for undergraduates in co-curricular programming. These include activities directly or indirectly related to academic programs, spiritual life options, and student leadership programs that emanate from the University’s mission and denominational relationships.
