Date: Feb 21 2011 Major: (This Major's Salary over time) BJU's greatest selling points are:
1. dedicated, caring, qualified faculty - individual professors influenced my life more than any other factor
2. liberal arts focus - it's not what you do with your education; it's what it does to you
3. critical thinking - a faith-based school that does not brainwash
4. cultural education - frequent required and optional guest performers and speakers
You have probably heard many negative comments about BJU, and I'm not pretending it is Utopia (neither do they). It seems to me that a number of graduates and former students misunderstood what BJU was trying to accomplish and have come away bitter. I find that very unfortunate for the individuals and the organization. BJU could probably make some changes to help avoid that reaction. But my experience was overwhelmingly positive, and I do not regret my years there.
You should definitely visit before you make up your mind.
