The student must meet all university requirements before a degreeis conferred. Photographs are being taken of individual graduates. Family and friends areinvited to take pictures in designated areas.Azusa Pacific University, one of the largest Christian universities in the nation today, beganon March 3, 1899, when a group of women and men passionate about creating a place forChristian education gathered to form the Training School for Christian Workers. It becamethe first Bible college on the West Coast geared toward preparing men and women forministry and service. Led by President Mary A. Hill, the school grew to an enrollment of12 in its first term.The early years of growth saw the school relocate and change leadership several times.Following mergers with three Southern California colleges, the school moved in 1946 to Azusa,where it resides today. After several name changes, the college achieved university statusin 1981 and became Azusa Pacific University. Today, the Azusa Pacific University System,a nonprofit education system comprising Azusa Pacific University and Los Angeles PacificUniversity, provides a Christ-centered education that strives to meet the needs of current andfuture students through its affiliate institutions.Under the leadership of Interim President Andrew Barton, EdD, Azusa Pacific is forgingahead with the implementation of Renewal, the university’s seven-year strategic plan, withthe goal of becoming the premier Christian university of choice for our culture and times.Today, APU offers 69 bachelor’s degrees, 47 master’s degrees, 18 certificates, 8 credentials,and 9 doctoral programs at the university’s main campus in Azusa, seven regional locations,and online. The university holds accreditation from the WASC Senior College and UniversityCommission as well as 13 other specialized accreditations.More than a century after its founding, Azusa Pacific serves as a comprehensive Christian,evangelical university, dedicated to supporting God First and excellence in higher educationby preparing disciples and scholars to advance the work of God in the world.UNIVERSITY PRESIDENTSPresidentes de la UniversidadMary A.

American universities agreed on a system in 1895, and in 1932 the American Council onEducation presented a revised code. In 1959, the council appointed a committee on academicregalia and ceremonies, and since 1960 the revised code has guided the latest developments.THE MACEMaza CeremonialOriginally a weapon of offense used in medieval warfare by a king or a greatThe Gown: Although it originally may have been worn as protection against the cold ofnoble, the mace has been refined into a symbolic device used on ceremonialunheated buildings, today the gown is symbolic of scholarship, because it covers any dressoccasions.
