At BJU, you will be prepared. Prepared for your career—but more importantly, for your calling as a Christian. Moreover, that is to glorify God with your life, no matter what job you have or where you live. At BJU, we believe in tackling these big questions head-on. Moreover, we find the answers in God’s revelation to us through His Word and His creation. By viewing our lives and the world around us through the lens of those answers, we develop a biblical worldview—the foundation for everything we do here at BJU. Our liberal arts courses, ranging from history to speak to science to the arts, give you a fantastic glimpse into God’s character and the world He created—and help you connect with people you meet in different fields. However, even more important than the knowledge you will gain are the skills you will 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 will learn how to discern truth and error, and you will 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 get excited about the work He is doing worldwide. Fine arts has always been a central part of a BJU education—the perfect complement to the academic breadth you will get through your liberal arts courses. No matter where you end up in life, you are called a humble servant-leader as a Christian. At BJU, you will grow through opportunities for both leadership and service. No matter what program you are in, you will be challenged by doing class projects on your own and collaborating with others. You will be encouraged to pursue internship opportunities, attend conferences, enter competitions, go on summer mission teams—whatever it is that will help you put into practice what you have learned and clarified your direction for the future. Bob Jones University was established in 1927 by evangelist Bob Jones Sr. Through his travels, Dr. Bob Jones Sr. saw students whose faith was shaken during college. He recognized the need for a thoroughly Christian college that stood on the absolute authority of the Bible to train America’s youth. His vision was to establish a training center for Christians from around the world that would be distinguished by its academic excellence, refined standards of behavior, and opportunities to appreciate the performing and visual arts. At the same time, Dr. Jones intended to make a place where Christ would be the center of all thought and conduct. At the outset of the new millennium's second decade, BJU introduced a new tagline: Build Faith. Challenge Potential. Follow Christ. Guided by this fresh expression of its unchanging mission, the University entered a time of renewed focus on fulfilling its purpose in Christian higher education. In 2011, BJU announced its return to intercollegiate athletics, and the following year introduced the University’s new mascot: the Bruin. In August 2013, BJU introduced a new collegiate visual identity. Due to health issues, Dr. Stephen Jones resigned as president of BJU in May of 2014, and Steve Pettit was elected as the new president. The common thread that runs throughout the history of Bob Jones University is love for and faithfulness to God and His Word. With eyes fixed on Jesus Christ, the University presses forward into the new decade with hopeful expectation that God will continue to use BJU to glorify His name and bless His people worldwide.
