Why SEU?

When your son or daughter brings their God-given gifts, talents, and passions to SEU, we’ll help them use those gifts in ways they never knew were possible. College is a time when a lot of life decisions are made: their field of study, their career, and maybe even where they’ll live after graduation. SEU will give them a foundation to rely on the Lord to guide them through all of these decisions, and set the stage for them to rely on Him for the rest of their life. We provide our students with strategies and opportunities to grow as future professionals, to maneuver through challenges in pursuing their calling, and to become people we are proud to call alumni.
