Start a journey of learning where you, your faith and your future matter.
Develop a way of thinking based on biblical truth
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.
Learn from experts who share your faith
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.
Expand your mind and challenge your potential
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.
Get the help you need to reach your goals
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.
I am thankful for the faculty members in every department who communicated passion for the Gospel in and out of the classroom. Laura
The quality and strength of the education I received at Bob Jones University has become more and more evident as I progress through my professional career. Ryan
No matter where God chooses to place us after graduation, the broad training that students receive in the liberal arts classes will equip us to connect with a wider range of people. Bethany
Experience
Live, play and serve in a community united in Christ.
Follow Christ and serve others
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.
Put your faith into action
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.
Never miss a beat of campus life
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.
Engage your inner artist
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.
Run, shoot, kick, spike or just cheer
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!
Connect with students from all walks of life
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.
I had a friend who lived in the dorms, and my parents suggested I try it for a year to see how I liked it. So I tried it, and then I couldn’t stop! I’ve met people I never would’ve met living at home. Laura Beth
BJU has made a huge difference. If you went to another college, you wouldn’t get the constant Christian atmosphere. And because it’s a liberal arts college, you get so much more than just your major. I’ve played for the Bruins, led a Bible study, tried out for a play—everything is at your fingertips. AJ
I love my society. They’re my favorite thing on campus. Society sports are a great way to build relationships with a lot of different people. If the only friends you have in college are the ones in your major, you will miss a lot of the college experience. Rebecca
There are so many opportunities here for you to learn and grow and be a better person. You have faculty, classes and experiences to draw from, so you can make the most out of it for your good and God’s glory! Hannah
Future
Give back. Lead others. Inspire change. Whatever challenge comes next, take it on with confidence.
Land your first job
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.
Keep pursuing the education of your dreams
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.
Continue on to new heights
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.
