Academic Experience with a Biblical Foundation

At BJU, we believe that preparing for a career is important—but preparing for life as a faithful Christian is essential. That’s why we partner with families to provide an education that not only equips students for their profession but also strengthens their faith, rather than shaking it.

Who am I? What’s my purpose? What is truth, and how do I know it?
How should I, as a Christian, engage with society?

At BJU, we don’t shy away from these big questions. Instead, we tackle them head-on—grounding every discussion in the truth of God’s Word and His creation. Through this foundation, students develop a strong biblical worldview that shapes their thinking, decisions, and future.

With a carefully designed blend of Bible courses and liberal arts, students gain both practical knowledge and spiritual discernment—so they graduate not only prepared for their career but equipped to glorify God in every aspect of life.

Our liberal arts courses, ranging from history to speech to science to the arts, give you an amazing glimpse into God’s character and the world He created—and help you connect with people you meet in different fields.

But even more important than the knowledge you’ll gain are the skills you’ll develop—skills employers look for like critical thinking, creative problem-solving and clear communication.

The Bible courses you take will deepen your understanding of God’s Word and its application to real-life issues. You’ll learn how to discern truth and error, and you’ll be prepared to reach out to others with the truth.

Most of all, experiencing God through His Word is the best way to grow in your love for Him and to get excited about the work He’s doing around the world.


Learn by Doing.
Lead with Confidence.

At BJU, education is more than knowledge—it’s experience in action. You’ll take on real-world projects, collaborate with peers, and apply what you learn in hands-on opportunities that build both skill and confidence.

Through internships, study abroad programs, competitions, conferences, and mission teams, you’ll put your faith into practice while developing leadership skills. With a strong biblical worldview as your foundation, you’ll graduate prepared to lead, serve, and make an impact in your field.
