International Undergraduate Student
Bob Jones University welcomes and encourages ethnic diversity and cultural awareness that international students bring to the student body. Currently, over 40 countries are represented by students who bring a unique perspective and testimony of God’s work in their homelands.
What is my admissions process?
As an international student, you’ll want to begin your process early. We have provided you additional admissions information and a timeline below.
If you’re planning to re-enroll as an international student, you should follow the international student admissions timeline and note the following differences:
- If you have already had your TOEFL scores sent to BJU, you will not need to have the scores sent again.
- A credential evaluation is only required if you have taken coursework at a foreign school since you were last enrolled at BJU.
- You will fill out a different financial information form which does not require prepayment of the year’s fees.
You don’t need to pay the $295 application fee, but you do need to pay a $50 refundable reservation fee when you submit your application.
