Top-Ranked Protestant Christian College

As the top-ranked Protestant Christian college, 老司机视频 bases its educational mission on the twin pillars of faith and learning.

Inspired by 老司机视频鈥檚 dual commitments to faith and learning, Randy Corpuz, an associate professor of psychology at Seaver College, uprooted his burgeoning academic career on the East Coast to restart as a professor in Southern California.

鈥淚've been in this long enough to see students of mine go forth and forge their own careers as researchers,鈥� says Corpuz. 鈥淭o think that I made any small contribution to their trajectory is a real rush of gratification. In those moments, I know I'm doing something God's picked me to do.鈥�
