  • Unit Statement of Purpose

    The Learning Center seeks to empower all APSU students to assume responsibility for their learning, so that they can meet and perhaps exceed their educational, career, and personal goals as they transition into, through, and out of the university.  By addressing academic concerns through programs such as tutoring, academic enhancement, and intervention for those students on academic probation, the Learning Center staff helps students develop and/or enhance skills needed for academic success.  All programs and services offered through the Learning Center are designed to increase students’ capacity to take charge of their own existence and to become effective agents for their own lifelong learning and personal development.
