Academics
Start a journey of learning where you, your faith and your future matter.
Your worldview determines how you think and act. Developing a biblical worldview isn’t just learning about the Bible. It’s learning to approach every situation from a biblical perspective. Every course at BJU is rooted in the truth of God’s Word as the basis for how we view ourselves and the world around us.
Our faculty are highly qualified, with advanced degrees and years of experience in their fields. But more than that, they’re believers who share your faith. They’re passionate about helping you approach every area of study from a biblical viewpoint. And they want to see you succeed as a follower of Christ in your career and in life.
Liberal arts enriches your education beyond just your chosen major. Studying history, communication, English and science will give you a strong foundation of knowledge and develop your communication, critical thinking, problem-solving and collaboration skills—skills that employers value.
From the moment you set foot on campus, you’ll be surrounded by people who want you to succeed. From your personal academic advisor to your freshman seminar group and your faculty, you’ll have the tools you need for a successful college career. Join a study group, get help with writing or technology or connect an academic coach that will help you reach your goals.
Experience
Live, play and serve in a community united in Christ.
We strive to live out our faith in all we do. Chapel—the heartbeat of campus life—equips you with the tools you need to grow in your personal faith and spread the Gospel. Involvement in local churches and student-organized worship events develops our students into strong, active believers intent on making a difference for Christ.
You can do anything from neighborhood cleanup to teaching at orphanages in Africa. Get involved with the student-run Community Service Council to help with blood drives and disaster relief trips. Lead Sunday services in a nursing home. Share the Gospel through sports in underprivileged communities. Or connect with mission organizations around the world through the Center for Global Opportunities. Whatever your passion, find your calling and start making a difference.
You’ll find our traditional residence hall setup with shared rooms and communal spaces will enable you to build close relationships with people who share your passions from all over the world. You can eat with friends or grab lunch on the go from the dining common. Or hang out at The Den and Cuppa Jones Express for all the coffee, Chick-Fil-A and Freshens you can eat.
Almost every weekend you’ll find students showcasing their work through recitals, art shows and dramatic productions. If you’re a musician, you can join a choir, band or orchestra. If you love the stage, you could win a role in a major production like Hamlet or Macbeth or participate in a modern, student-produced play. You’ll also experience a broad range of artistic styles from classical piano to Broadway musicals to accent your liberal arts education. And who knows? You may even find out you like opera after all.
At BJU you can get involved in sports as much or as little as you like. Compete on one of our BJU Bruins intercollegiate teams to play sports like soccer, volleyball or basketball. Join a society that’s as casual or as competitive about athletics as you are, and play cool intramural sports like water polo, flag football and disc golf. And if the spirit squad is where you shine, shake pom poms, wave towels — whatever — just show your BruinNation pride!
When you choose a society, you won’t be just another face in the crowd. Societies are an important part of student life that help you do more, get connected and become involved in campus activities. They’re outlets for serving in the community, playing sports and growing closer to God through weekly challenges and prayer meetings.
Future
Give back. Lead others. Inspire change. Whatever challenge comes next, take it on with confidence.
Be successful. Our liberal arts education gives you a wide range of creative, analytical and communication skills, so you’re ready for any job market. You’ll benefit from interview training and resume advice, so you can make a polished first impression. And the internships and hands-on learning in the programs makes you a desirable asset to employers.
Be proactive. Our graduates are successfully working toward higher education in internationally respected universities like Clemson, Purdue and Yale. If you decide to further your education, whether that’s through one of our grad programs or across the world, we’re prepared to help you achieve that dream.
Be ready. Ready to start a career. To conquer the next challenge. To push yourself beyond your comfort zone. To take every opportunity to make a difference for Christ. To challenge what you thought was possible. Most importantly, be ready to follow the Lord’s leading wherever it may take you.
