I am compelled to write because I have heard people say having a BJU degree did not hurt them in getting in to grad school. I received over 10 rejection letters because BJ was unaccredited. Being in the military, I did not have the choice of going to the schools that do accept BJU (such as Duke, Harvard, Yale). If you have total freedom over where you get your degree, go for it. However, if you are restrained by location, BEWARE!!! For the record, my problems were not only with the universities in my locations, but also the accredited distance learning institutions. The only reason I was able to attend the graduate school at which I received my master's was that, as they were typing a rejection letter, the office manager mentioned that her sister had attended BJ and that it was a good school (definitely God moving there!). BJ will give you a solid, grounded, Biblical education; HOWEVER, you must be a mature Christian to attend and not become jaded by their guilt-laden diatribes on issues that detract from the Cross of Christ. If you are spiritually mature, want a good education in a Biblical setting, can handle LOTS of rules, can stand the stigma of being teased about attending BJU (FYI, I get it ALL THE TIME (probably out of jealousy some times)), and are prepared to go to grad school anywhere, go for it! Otherwise, consider less polarizing, restrictive, spirit-testing places.
