Sustainable Financial Enterprise

Create entrepreneurial funding strategies and practices to resource new initiatives and secure financial sustainability

“And my God will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.”
Philippians 4:19

As traditional undergraduate tuition increases at rates 2-3 times that of inflation, and discount rates have risen approximately 50%, the current structure has become unsustainable. Fortunately, while University leadership continues to invest in enhancing the traditional undergraduate experience, APU has strong working adult (professional) undergraduate and graduate programs. To create a high-impact, sustainable financial model, continuous review and scrutiny of expenditures, accurate position planning, and revenue projections must unfold. To effectively manage a university of APU’s size and scope, and maximize student access, the contemporary review of the traditional undergraduate pricing model to provide access to all students, philanthropy, the university endowment, debt management, and research funding is required.
