I am compelled to write because I havePsychology
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.

Question
Bobd Jones does not tell the truth toBrightAccounting
Bobd Jones does not tell the truth to students about the rules. It looks like a nice school.. good buildings.. but it had some rules you would NOT believe. If you are not the most conservative... I mean super close minded christian (if you still can call yourself a christian after being that) then go to some other christian school. You are not allowed to go certain places, they place restrictions on dating life (not common sense rules.. insane rules) and they preach exactly their own theology and leave no room for debate. i hated this school and am attending Liberty University where I feel they have the heard screwed on much straighter

Business - Management and Administration
BJU taught me to give 100%. And I've always been a highly-sought-after legal secretary. (:
