2010-2011 APPLICATION FOR ADMISSION
Welcome to the St. Andrews Presbyterian College Online Application
A message from the campus:

Welcome to St. Andrews Presbyterian College!

St. Andrews strives to educate our students to be knowledgeable and imaginative servant-leaders well prepared for a lifetime of learning, leadership, and service in an ever-changing and interdependent world.   to be knowledgeable and imaginative

St. Andrews is different. At St. Andrews, professors know you by name and take the time to work with you. The flexibility of the academic program helps you achieve your goals. (You can even design your own major at St. Andrews.) The technology you need to succeed is available from the minute you step on campus.

Some large universities are rigid and impersonal. Students are known by a number, classes are held in tremendous lecture halls and that class you needed to finish your degree, well, it was closed out and you can't get in. Now, your four-year program just turned into five years and summer school. And, by the way, all those great computers, well those are reserved for graduate students.

The St. Andrews focus is on YOU. In completing this application, please remember that we want to know you. Sure, your grades and test scores are important, but our real interest is in making sure that you and St. Andrews will be a good match. Please call us at 1(800)763-0198 if you have questions about your application or the College.

Thank you.
