BJU is the best Christian liberal arts university in the nation. I received a remarkable education both in person and online. I made so many long-lasting friendships while at BJU, and I met my husband there. BJU offers excellent academic programs in a variety of fields. Outside of my major, I participated in several musical extra-curricular activities. I loved being in choirs and musical productions. The social activities on campus are both exciting and Christ-centered. BJU has made a profound impact on my life. I am forever grateful.
