Positive Learning Environment and Supportive Culture

Students report a positive, constructive learning environment between faculty and students and among students in classes. SCU is not a competitive culture and our pre-health students support each other here. This can be hard to find at many institutions, especially in the pre-health community. One example of this culture is the amazing group of students who serve as pre-health peer advisors in our Health Professions Peer Advising Program. Student’s who engage with our majors and experiential programs are highly successful in their healthcare career objectives.
