As to the Accredidation issue, it WILL hurt you. Although many are able to get into good grad schools, they do so IN SPITE of the fact that the school is not accredited. I was rejected from taking the CPA exam in my state… even though I had more than enough accounting credits… and a 3.7 GPA. I felt like I was forced to go to grad school because no potential employer was familiar with the school. Or, the ones that knew were scared off by the seeming cult mentality of the school. I was able to get into a decent MBA program… again.. IN SPITE of where my degree came from. You will get a good "factual" education at the school, but it will be very difficult to convince grad school programs and potential employers of this.

One thing you will not learn at BJU is how to think… how to reason. In every class I ever took there… they shoved facts and opinions at me. I did not learn to reason and apply knowledge until grad school.

I disagree that you get a good "Christian" education at BJU. They control every little element of your life. College is the time to start to develop your own set of standards, and it is the time to learn to think for yourself. BJU does not let you do either.

I would not recomment BJU to anyone unless they were going into the ministry or maybe music (Music Minor here). It wasn't until about 3-5 years out of grad school that I felt like the burden of my BJU degree had been lifted off my back.
