Los Angeles Pacific University Rebrands as APU Global

The rebranding effort aligns the online-only institution more closely with the main Azusa Pacific University campus in Southern California. Despite the shared identity, both entities remain independently accredited and retain separate leadership, faculty governance, and operational structures. APU Global will continue to focus on flexible, 100% online associate, bachelor's, and master's degree programs, while the flagship APU campus maintains its residential and hybrid academic offerings.

Jay Goin, president of APU Global, noted that the transition is intended to reduce market confusion and increase the institution’s reach to prospective students. For current learners, the shift is strictly administrative; coursework, faculty support, and degree progression remain unchanged. Adam J. Morris, president of Azusa Pacific University, emphasized that the unified naming convention ensures students find a consistent experience, whether they are pursuing a traditional campus education or a specialized digital curriculum within the broader APU ecosystem.
