Bob Jones University

Bob Jones University (BJU) is a private, non-denominational evangelical Christian university located in Greenville, South Carolina. Founded in 1927 by evangelist Bob Jones Sr., the institution began as Bob Jones College in Florida before relocating to Tennessee and finally settling in Greenville in 1947. The university offers undergraduate and graduate programs grounded in a conservative Christian worldview and is known for its strong emphasis on biblical principles, liberal arts education, and professional training. BJU operates with a distinct religious identity and historically maintained strict behavioral and dress codes for students, along with chapel attendance requirements. The university is regionally accredited and offers degrees across a range of disciplines including arts, sciences, business, education, music, and ministry. While it has evolved over the decades, BJU remains closely associated with conservative evangelical Christianity and serves students primarily from the United States, with some international enrollment.
