Not so bright
This is the worst school I could have chosen to go to. Everyone is simple-minded and clueless, especially the administration.

Question
The university's accreditation (and lack thereof for some
The university's accreditation (and lack thereof for some programs) can be a tremendous hindrance to future careers.

The people there were nice, but I would not reccomend this college. It is too expensive to risk your career on a degree you might not get credit for. This school needs to let prospective students know this . . . but it doesn't.

Question
Well, Bob Jones says they are accredited butNot so bright
Well, Bob Jones says they are accredited but it makes a BIG difference to what kind of accreditation. They are Nationally accredited which means, you CAN'T get higher education unless you go to another Christian college, "IF" they will accept you...which is if you are very lucky. (For Example) if I go to Pre-Med at BJU, and want to become a Doctor, a medical school won't accept me because my degree is Nationally Accredited, not Regionally accredited. PLEASE be careful people, BJU does not tell you this until your 3rd year there. They have ripped off many, many people. I lost over $50,000 dollars because of this and have to start all over at a Regionally accredited school and all BJU told me was, "Too bad" Literally!

If you want to be a pastor or go in missions, then go here, but if you want to be something else. DO NOT GO HERE, it will be a waste of your time and money! Oh yeah, and when I asked about transferring my stuff to another College because the Regionally Accredited colleges wouldn't transfer any of my 3 years of hardwork, my BJU teachers said, "You're leaving, why should we help you?"
