History of BJU
Cleveland, TN (1933-1947)
In the spring of 1933, Bob Jones College purchased and moved to its new campus in Cleveland, Tennessee. Both the intramural sports program and Artist Series began in this new location. The school also established a work scholarship program to help students pay for their education expenses. Despite the Depression, enrollment continued to increase. God's financial provision for new buildings allowed Bob Jones College to accommodate the expansion. Following World War II, the GI Bill was introduced, causing the student body to nearly double in size. Needing more room to grow, the school was forced once again to relocate.
