"I have had a fantastic experience at Belhaven. From the many events provided on campus, as well as how the presence of the Lord is evident in everything we do. Belhaven feels like my home away from home."
"My favorite thing about Belhaven is the community. There are so many different people with different backgrounds. As an athlete, it’s been great to learn more about the arts and other areas that I never would have explored if not for Belhaven. God’s work is very present on the campus and it’s a blessing to be a part of it."
"After being out of school for a while, Belhaven met me where I was. There was no question I was in the right place. If you are looking for a place that feels like home, choose Belhaven!"
"I was attracted to Belhaven because I wanted to be challenged. Belhaven offers a first-class education."
"As soon as I found Belhaven, I immediately fell in love with the school and its mission. However, the thing that particularly sold me on Belhaven was its Double Major promise. As a double major in Dance and Sports Medicine, I am able to pursue both my passions and do so through a Christ-centered lens. I have also loved the faculty within both departments and how they push me to do my best in all that I do."
"Belhaven did a great job to prepare me for my role working for a U.S. Congressman. The coursework translated well to what I am doing everyday at work. Belhaven also helped me learn to pursue work that is pleasing to God while helping those around me. Anyone can go back and get a degree with self discipline and a willingness to get it done."
"Whether it was scheduling classes or being in the classroom, all the teachers and advisors were very helpful and understanding of our life outside of school. My degree from Belhaven, will help me use the knowledge I’ve gained to reach new goals and opportunities in my workfield."
"The incorporation of the Christian worldview into all the classes helps me see I don't have to divide the business world from my personal world; rather, it goes together and co-exists."
"I chose Belhaven because the structure of classes made it convenient for an adult with a family. The degree will forge new opportunities for me, for which I am grateful."
"Belhaven offers a small, family atmosphere. The professors and administrators have the ability to make you feel like you are the only student in the class. From the support staff, professors, and beautiful campus it makes me feel truly at home."
"One of the great things about Belhaven University is not only the affordability, but the ability to go back to school around your work schedule."
"Through Belhaven, God has helped me to grow my gift in creative writing. He has also given me a heart for ministry and pushed me to places of leadership while emphatically sharing his truth."
"I put off going back to school because I was afraid I could not balance my family and classwork. Belhaven helped make this a possibility with evening and online classes."
"There is always a friendly face and someone to be friends with. The opportunities to get connected on campus are plentiful, and I appreciate how genuine people are and how I am seen by my professors, classmates and friends."
"My Belhaven experience has pushed me to grow as a person. I have learned a lot and have strengthened my faith, all while making memories that I will never forget."
"My favorite thing about Belhaven is the fact that it is Christ-centered. It’s the perfect place for young adults who are seeking or growing in their faith and relationship with Jesus Christ."
"Because of my degree from Belhaven I can accomplish anything I put my mind to as long as I follow the path God has provided me."
"I was able to take online classes and work full time by practicing good time-management; time management is key. The personal attention I received as an online student was helpful in that the one-on-one communication with professors was very personal. Because of my degree at Belhaven, my confidence has escalated."
"When I first signed up online classes at Belhaven, I thought getting a degree would look good on my resume, but what I didn't expect was how much it would help me in my personal life too because of the Christian worldview curriculum. I am able to take classes and work full-time because the online schedule is flexible. I also get a lot of personal attention from my professors."
