Achievement Center
Mission Statement
The Achievement Center has been established by the university in harmony with its commitment to academic excellence and exists for the purpose of instructional assistance and academic support to the entire university community.
Philosophy
The Achievement Center is part of the academic program of Southwestern Assemblies of God University and is open to all students of the University. The Achievement Center educational programs are founded upon the biblical principle that example and modeling are two of the most powerful tools for change. If one’s peers (tutors) are academic achievers and exemplary students, one will try harder academically. Therefore, the peer tutor concept is the “heart of the instructional program.”
