Belhaven College

Information may not be reliable

At the center of Belhaven’s liberal arts emphasis is the innovative Worldview Curriculum, which presents history, philosophy, literature, and art as one set of interconnected disciplines.

Through this bold approach to education, students discover the contexts of the Christian worldview and how it relates to other systems of thought throughout history. With it comes the challenge to students to recognize their own worldview and to weigh it against the Christian worldview.

Christian colleges and universities come in all shapes and sizes, but Belhaven College, now Belhaven University, is one of a kind. Each of our Christ-honoring faculty, coaches, and staff is committed to helping you capture God's vision for your life and to preparing you to excel in your career, relationships, home, and the world of ideas.

For traditional age college students, working adults seeking an accelerated schedule, home school juniors or seniors studying in our High Scholars online program, and those want- ing distance learning through online college degrees, we stand out from all other Christian schools. >

Grant Callen ’05 doesn’t leave his faith at the door when he goes to work at the Mississippi Center for Public Policy. As Director of Development, he has the opportunity to impact society every day. He says he appreciates “that Belhaven is committed to equipping students with the knowledge, tools, and experience to impact the secular culture for Christ.

“I’m grateful for the foundation that was laid during my four years at Belhaven.

As a Biblical Studies graduate, Heather has always had a passion for helping people. Though she always thought she would be a foreign missionary, the Lord placed her in the heart of Jackson to serve the very neediest citizens—the homeless.

As the City of Jackson’s Homeless Program Coordinator, Heather has the monumental task of implementing the city’s 10-year plan to end homelessness. As she looks at her path since college, Heather says, “I love my work— and I have my time at Belhaven to thank for nurturing that call.”

"Several years ago, a friend challenged me to consider Belhaven for its worker- friendly atmosphere and faculty. Belhaven proved to be the right institution for me. While there, I met and socialized with students who actually lived their religion. I was provided the opportunity to mingle with Christians (my study group) who 'talked the talk and walked the walk.' My worldview regarding many issues on which this country finds itself deeply divided changed as a direct result of attending Belhaven."
