At Azusa Pacific University, we’re committed to making your bachelor’s degree in psychology affordable. That’s why APU provides a comprehensive range of financial aid options, including federal loans, state grants, fellowships, and scholarships.

For more information, contact the Student Services Center at (626) 815-2020.

Scholarships and Grants

Scholarships and grants are considered gift aid, meaning they do not require repayment. These awards may come from federal, state, institutional, or private sources. Scholarships are often merit-based and awarded for academic achievement, leadership, or other demonstrated talents.

While APU does award scholarships, you can also find external scholarship opportunities through websites such as Finaid and Fastweb. Contact the Student Services Center about scholarships offered through APU departments or local organizations.

Student Employment

Along with gift aid and student loans, you can apply for on-campus student employment opportunities to earn additional income to pay for education-related expenses. As an APU student, you can also find work off campus in the surrounding community.

Military and Veterans Benefits

If you are a veteran, serve in the military, or qualify as a spouse or dependent, you may access financial assistance that helps cover the cost of tuition, housing, and books. As a Yellow Ribbon and Military Friendly School, APU offers the support and flexibility needed to help you complete your bachelor’s degree in psychology.

Programs Requirements

Earn a BS in Engineering and an MS in Applied Statistics and Data Science in 5 Years

Undergraduate students can complete a Bachelor of Science in Engineering and a Master of Science in Applied Statistics and Data Science in just five years. Upon successful completion of the two degrees, graduates will be prepared for leadership roles as applied statisticians or data scientists, applying their skills in diverse fields such as business, sports, medicine, and the pharmaceutical industry. Engineering majors admitted to the MS in Applied Statistics and Data Science will complete up to 9 units of graduate coursework during their undergraduate studies, finishing the remaining 23 units for the master’s degree over the next year. Three courses, Introduction to Modeling with Probability and two other approved Engineering or Statistics courses, are taken as an undergraduate student and will count towards both the BS in Engineering and MS in Applied Statistics and Data Science degrees.

Students interested in completing this five-year pathway should apply to APU as an Engineering major. During their junior year, students with a 3.0 GPA or higher may apply to the MS in Applied Statistics and Data Science program. The graduate application fee will be waived. For more information about this pathway, contact [email protected].

Earn a BS in Engineering and an MS in Biotechnology in 5 Years

Undergraduate students can complete a Bachelor of Science in Engineering and a Master of Science in Biotechnology in just five years. Upon successful completion of the two degrees, graduates will be prepared for careers in the rapidly growing biomedical industry. When you graduate, you’ll be equipped to lead in key areas like molecular biology, project management, biomedical products, and more. Engineering majors admitted to the MS in Biotechnology will complete up to 9 units of graduate coursework during their undergraduate studies, finishing the remaining 30 units for the master’s degree over the next year. Three courses, Bioinformatics, Introduction to Modeling with Probability, and Ethics for Biomedical Products Industries or Ethics in Computing and Engineering, are taken as an undergraduate student and will count towards both the BS in Engineering and MS in Biotechnology degrees.

Students interested in completing this five-year pathway should apply to APU as a Engineering major. During their junior year, students with a 3.0 GPA or higher may apply to the MS in Biotechnology. The graduate application fee will be waived. For more information about this pathway, contact [email protected].

Program Educational Objectives
