My son was invited here for a football game. I was impressed by their stadium. The coaches and players put on a good camp. If my son is offered, I think this would be a good school for him. read more

A Supportive, Values-Driven University Experience Belhaven University truly stands out as an institution that cares about its students both academically and personally. The faculty and staff are welcoming, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in student success. Professors are accessible, supportive, and bring real-world experience into the classroom, making the coursework practical as well as engaging. Belhaven's Christian worldview is thoughtfully integrated into the curriculum, creating an environment that encourages integrity, critical thinking, and personal growth. The smaller class sizes make a big difference--students are known by name, questions are encouraged, and mentorship feels authentic rather than transactional. If you're looking for a university that combines strong academics, personal attention, and faith-based values in a supportive community, Belhaven University is an excellent choice. I would highly recommend it to anyone seeking a meaningful and well-rounded college experience. read more

Belhaven University claims to uphold Christian values, but my experience was anything but Christ-like. They were nearly impossible to contact, unhelpful at every turn, and transferred a debt that was 10 percent of the total amount payed to the school--a collections debt that I included in bankruptcy--specifically to prevent me from furthering my education. They were willing to sell the debt to collections for pennies on the dollar but not willing to allow me to satisfy the 10 year old debt for one penny less than the full amount. Despite charging nearly $30,000 a year, the education was the most expensive but least sufficient of the five universities I've attended through my academic career. The administration lacks transparency and compassion. I wouldn't recommend this school to anyone. Choose a place that truly cares and will truly prepare you for the workforce. Please reconsider attending this university for all of the aforementioned reasons and many many more. read more

The professors at this school care so much about their students that when I went to apply for a Master's degree and asked for letters of recommendation from the two department heads that spent hundreds of classroom/advising hours with me, they sent a boilerplate letter with my name misspelled, the wrong name sprinkled throughout, and forgot to change the pronoun "her" to him. 100k well spent. Graduated in 2010 and am thankful I now have a degree from elsewhere to help mask my embarrassment over being an alumnus. read more

I visited Belhaven University in FEB 2012 with my nephew as part of an open-house for potential football recruits. The main campus in Jackson, MS is in a great location as it is just a mile or two from the airport, downtown and within a nice residential neighborhood. For a private school of it's size the college was amazingly active on the Saturday we visited. The buildings and grounds are kept in impeccable shape, as the landscaping is performed by an alumni who obviously cares. The football coaches and counselor staff that we engaged with were professional, courteous and frank. They were more than happy to answer any and all questions and met concerns head-on without tiptoeing around issues. I was quite refreshing after dealing with other institutions who beat around the bush and are less than transparent. They are also a Christian school and are completely open to the fact that they are interested in developing fine people, as much as fine students. Part of the visit allowed for us to have a free brunch in their student cafeteria. They have a well stocked, all you can eat style cafeteria just like you'd find at any large state school. The size and selection was eerily similar to a cafeteria I have eaten at several times at the University of Texas in Austin. The food was great and there were plenty of options for students and visitors alike. It should be noted that meal plans are included with room and board which is required for all freshman and sophomores. Overall my nephew really dug the atmosphere at Belhaven and would be proud to go there. It seems like a fantastic NAIA university that is booming with growth and full of potential. read more

I attended the school's online courses and traditional classes in Houston, TX. The classes were great. The office staff for student accounts is HORRIBLE. These people literally set me up for failure. I received a letter stating that I had an outstanding balance. I did my due diligence...I called and left SEVERAL voicemails to contact me so that I could resolve the issue. They never returned my call. Finally, was able to reach someone... NATASHA. She was not helpful. She said that I had an outstanding balance from a few years ago where I had to withdraw from school. No problem can we setup a payment plan? No ma'am you have to pay today or your account will be forwarded to collections, she says. Wow! I'm TRYING to resolve this issue and I'm treated this way. Smh! I then ask to speak to her supervisor so that I can try to work out a payment plan. She said, we don't have a supervisor right now, we only have an interim supervisor, Jessica Sumrall. She transferred me after a LONG hold only for me to get a lady claiming to be her secretary. She took a message and said she'd get it to her. After a couple days I called back..voicemail. Guess what? It's on my credit report!!!!!! Christian values? This is HORRIBLE! PLEASE USE CAUTION WHEN CHOOSING YOUR SCHOOLING. read more
