Visit Days
Our Visit Days are scheduled to provide you and your parents with a wide variety of activities that expose you to what JBU is all about. Attend a class, spend the night in the dorms, mingle with current students, worship in chapel, visit with professors, admissions counselors, and other important JBU staff during your visit.

Spotlight Visit Days
On each Visit Day, we like to spotlight a particular program at JBU. For example, we have an Engineering Day and a Junior Day. That means if you are interested in Engineering, we have special sessions just for you! If you are interested in our music program, plan to come for our music audition days.
Can’t find a spotlight that fits you? That’s okay, we always offer our general sessions during all Visit Days.

Do you love to sing or play and instrument? We want to hear you! Music audition days are the perfect opportunity for students interested in JBU’s Bachelor of Arts degrees in applied music (voice, piano, or organ). During your visit you will be able to meet with faculty and students and have the opportunity to audition. Auditions are required for entrance into the music programs, and scholships are awarded based on auditions. If you are interested in singing in JBU’s Cathedral Choir, you don’t need to be a music major to sing with the choir, but you do have to audition.

Home-Educated Day (Dec. 3)
If you are currently being home-educated, December 3 is a great day for you to come visit JBU. Home-educated students from all over the U.S. will gather during this visit day to learn about the opportunities JBU has and to experience campus. During your visit, you will have the oportunity to meet current JBU students who were home-educated, and your parents will also get to meet and talk with professors. Some of our professors home-educate their own children and can identify with the transition some might face when attending college. Dr. Pollard, JBU’s president, with also be doing a Q & A session with the parents during the visit.

“I stayed with two new freshmen named Melanie and Stephanie, and they were amazing! I cannot get over how loving and accepting they were. These girls opened up their new home to us and treated us like old friends. Before we left, all three of us prospectives found a front and back note on each of our bags! I loved experiencing God's love through them, and I hope to see them again!”
