Among Christian colleges and universities, Belhaven University stands at the forefront-both for its enduring commitment to the liberal arts as well as to the integration of the Christian faith into the classroom and life of the campus.

Students seeking a college degree that will challenge them to tackle complex intellectual and spiritual issues from a biblical perspective will find Belhaven to be one of their top options.

We take seriously the idea of Christian higher education, pushing students to think critically in a wide array of disciplines and providing an environment that is academically rigorous while being supportive of students and their success, all in the context of a community guided by Christian and biblical standards of lifestyle and conduct.

Belhaven University is located in a historic, residential setting in the heart of Jackson, Mississippi, and is a close-knit community of students, professors, and staff committed to the mission of the college, which is to prepare students academically and spiritually to serve Christ Jesus in their careers, in human relationships, and in the world of ideas.
