I am really glad that I chose this University to complete my degree. The format of the SPS business program is a perfect fit for my life schedule. The classes have been great as well as the Professors. I appreciate the values that this school has to offer along with the opportunity to grow spiritually. I would recommend this school to anyone!

It’s awesome
Overall 4.5
It is a fantastic school. All the professors are highly competent and really want you to succeed. The biggest challenge is there is a lot of turnover in the advising department so they are not very knowledgeable. Have had several problems with them in the past. But the people at Jessup more than make up for it!

It's a dream to be attending WJU, and I love it so much. People are amazing; campus is very safe; cafe food is $$ but delicious. Any art degree needs to be improved upon, but the opportunities and available equipment for rent is awesome. Chapel weekly is amazing, and student jobs are plentiful. High recommend - love my school! Christ centered!

Jessup isn't perfect, but what school is, really? I love this place and I wouldn't want to get my undergrad anywhere else.
Overall 4.3
This is the third school I have attended and it is by far the best one for me! Even though I live off campus, I totally feel like I am an important part of this school! The professors are amazing, for the most part, and there is an eagerness to pursue excellence at this school, which is something that I believe is 100% necessary.
Overall 4.2
Jessup is great, especially if you are looking for a smaller school where you will get to know your professors well. The staff truly care about you and want to input into your life, so if you are not into mentorship opportunities, perhaps don't go here. The new nursing program is pretty good as far as I can tell from the few classes I have taken.

I love this school! The only thing that could make this place better is a pool.
Overall 4.2
This school has a great community. And one thing is that this school is how you want to make it to be. If you want to have a good time here keep a positive attitude, forgiving heart, and tolerable of other mistakes and you can see how this school is like humans. Always trying to improve and trying to accommodate to everyone's needs.

I got accepted in this school sadly had to drop out and find another university due to the administration people never reply back to your gmails, or call back. I also did not like the mandatory christian minor that I had to take. and If I wanted any progress in my application I had to contact the school by phone many times for them to listen.
