Introduction

For admissions call: 800-235-0136

Students entering Blue Mountain Christian University for the 2023-2024 session (effective July, 2017) must meet major and minor requirements as set forth in this edition as well as the general degree requirements for graduation contained herein. Requirements governing teacher certification occasionally change from those published in this Undergraduate Catalog. Students are advised, therefore, to check periodically with their advisor for possible modifications in program requirements.

A student readmitted after an interruption of more than two years in the course of study at Blue Mountain Christian University may, at the discretion of the University, be required to fulfill the graduation requirements in the catalog in force at the time of readmission.

This Catalog does not constitute a contract between the University and its students. The University reserves the right to change any of its regulations, charges, rules, and courses without notice and to make such changes applicable thenceforth, not only to new students but also to students already registered. The current Catalog or Handbook is the one posted on the BMCU website.

Blue Mountain Christian University offers curricula in various professional fields, as well as general or liberal arts education. In the professional field, curricula generally include both academic and practical or clinical requirements. In some professional fields (such as teacher education) it is necessary to pass an examination or other requirements of the professional organization in order to be admitted to the profession. Curricula at Blue Mountain Christian University are designed to expose students to the skills and knowledge essential to the relevant profession and the student must successfully complete the requirements of the appropriate curriculum in order to receive a degree. However, Blue Mountain Christian University cannot guarantee that any student admitted to a given program of study will complete that program successfully; neither can Blue Mountain Christian University guarantee that one who completes the degree program will pass the external examination of the professional organization or secure employment in the profession. These factors are not within the control of Blue Mountain Christian University.

All undergraduate students enrolled at the University are subject to all rules and regulations as specified in the Blue Mountain Christian University Undergraduate Student Handbook. Failure to read the Blue Mountain Christian University Undergraduate Student Handbook or policies does not excuse students from the requirements and regulations contained therein.

University facilities may not be used for any personal fund-raising or business ventures.

It is the goal of Blue Mountain Christian University to assist in the development of good health and clean air. All buildings and grounds are declared “tobacco free” and all persons associated with the University are expected to adhere to the policy of “tobacco free” and to the policy that prohibits vaping.
