Seattle Pacific University

Your future awaits

Thinking about a career in science or engineering? Seattle Pacific University offers a unique opportunity to study in one of the world's biggest tech hubs while being part of a close-knit, faith-based community. SPU is all about "engaging the culture and changing the world," and its STEM programs give you the tools to do just that. It's a place where top-tier academics and a supportive, purposeful environment come together.

Top-tier academics
SPU's programs are built to get you ready for the real world. You can dive into ABET-accredited degrees like Mechanical, Electrical, and Biomedical Engineering, or explore Computer Science, Data Science, Biochemistry, and Physiology. With a 12:1 student-faculty ratio, you won't be just another face in a giant lecture hall. Your professors will know your name, mentor you, and guide you through challenging, hands-on coursework.

Beyond the classroom
This is where SPU really shines. The curriculum is built around doing. You can get your hands dirty with the Falcon Racing Baja team, designing and building an off-road vehicle from scratch for competition. Or, you can join clubs like Engineers Without Borders to work on global projects. The capstone of the engineering program is a year-long senior design project that mimics a high-tech incubator, teaming you up with students from other disciplines to solve complex problems—just like you will in your career.

Life in the city
Being in Seattle is a huge plus. You'll have incredible access to internships and research opportunities at world-renowned institutions like the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center or with tech giants. On campus, life is community-focused. While it's not a party school, you'll find plenty to do, from exploring the city's amazing food and culture to connecting with peers who share your values and drive.
