An Inside Look

What students are saying about us...

  • “JBU stood out to me because of their faith-based education and focus on career readiness. The amount of hands-on credit time and the overwhelmingly positive Christian community made JBU an easy choice for me.”

    • Zoey Kierstead ’24

  • “I’m an extrovert, so at first I thought, ‘the bigger the school, the better for me.’ At JBU, I’ve been able to form deeper, more intimate relationships. I know so many people.”

    • Isabelle Martinez ’21

  • “I decided against JBU at first because of financial concerns. Then I transferred to JBU from another school because I decided that academic excellence was worth the money. Our professors are incredibly accessible.”

    • Eliza Newkirk ’20

  • “The professors are truly amazing people. They care about their students, make efforts to invest in them, and guide them in each discipline through the lens of Christ.”
