This school has taught me so much about my major and about God and all the professors have been beyond amazing. My professors have a real and genuine care for their students. They are always willing to help out when they can and give you the resources you need when they can't. I have never regretting choosing this school and I am always trying to get my friends from back home to come here. The scheduling advisors at Belhaven are great at helping me with my schedule. Even the president of this school... Read More wants to hear from the students! The food could be better but overall is not bad. There are so many opportunities for success at Belhaven and I can't wait to see what my future holds for me here!

I genuinely wish that giving Belhaven University no stars would be an option. I graduated from Belhaven in May of 2020 during the pandemic. Through graduation I was employed by a large church. I decided to continue my degree with Belhaven into a Masters program. I paid every cent of my bachelors on time and I never had an account hold or anything. Due to the PANDEMIC I suffered a job loss TWO weeks into my first and only class towards my Masters degree. It was literally only the Intro to Masters... Read More Program Class. I called Belhaven and told them I needed to drop the course due to hardship. NOT because the course was hard or that I had poor time management. I LOST MY JOB DUE TO A GLOBAL PANDEMIC. I’ve continued on the job hunt and finally found a possibly job but I needed my transcript to show I graduated with a high GPA. I went onto Blazenet and saw that I had a financial hold and was unable to access my undergraduate transcript. I called the school and they transferred me to the registrars office who then transferred me to financial aid services. I was told that I could make an appeal with the registrars office. I was transferred back. They told me only the financial aid office would be able to assist. Back and forth we went for over an hour until they finally put a ticket in for my request. I was anxious because I have a job on the line. Fast forward to the next day - not a soul has called me back. I call and I am told by financial services that there isn’t anything they can do. The total was over $1000. I asked if I could make a payment plan and put something down then to access my transcript they refused - I was told I needed to pay the full amount FROM A MASTERS CLASS TO ACCESS A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT DEGREES TRANSCRIPT. A CLASS I TOOK FOR TWO DAYS AND HAD TO DROP DUE TO A GLOBAL PANDEMIC JOB LOSS. I explained that I did not have a job and needed my transcript to get a job in order to pay the full amount. I didn’t even need the official the unofficial would do just fine. They refused and told me there was nothing they could do to hardship assist me. I was crying and begging for them to help me. Finding a job in the pandemic has been hard enough but adding this hurdle financially was paralyzing. They couldn’t have cared less. As a Christian University I am unbelievably disappointed with the lack of compassion that was shown. I am appalled at the lack of professionalism. I would have loved to continue my Masters at Belhaven but honestly I refuse to contribute anymore money to a University that cares more about a financial situation than the well-being and success of their students.

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... Read More 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.

One of the good things about Belhaven was the 5-week class terms, which allowed you to get through with a class very quickly. Another plus is that they include the books with your tuition, so there is never an expensive textbook to buy. There are group projects for most classes, and some people did not like this while others did. One thing that I never see mentioned on reviews is their Christian worldview curriculum. When I enrolled, I assumed they were like most other schools with a religious affiliation,... Read More meaning it would be no big deal. However, I must warn everyone that if you are not comfortable being very outwardly religious, this might not be the school for you. All of the papers you will write have a very personal religious theme. This applies to absolutely every class, not just the religion classes you are required to take. They have a class on Microsoft Excel called business computer applications, and you literally have to write a paper explaining how Microsoft Excel applies to religion. In the math classes, you have to explain how mathematical concepts apply to the Bible. You really have to be creative and do some stretching to work with assignments like this. If you do not want to talk about your personal religious experience, you might be very uncomfortable at Belhaven. I knew several people who felt this way and had to withdraw. I feel that this aspect of the program should have been more publicized before enrolling.

I started Belhaven back in 2014. I gradated with a bachelors in applied psychology. I really enjoyed my time at Belhaven. I have attend online and the adult studies. The adult studies program you meet one night a week from 6pm-10pm and the classes are 6 weeks. Online consist of two discussion questions, reading, quiz and a paper. They will let you view the module before hand. I am going back for a MBA. Belhaven is a priviate christian university and it feels like bible study and lecture all in one.... Read More The instructors are great and understanding if you communicate with them. I would recommend Belhaven.

Awful program. I enrolled here to get certified as a teacher. The online program was awful. We received teachers that rarely responded to our emails and when she did, her response was, "Make sure you read the instructions clearly." Just not helpful at all. Oh She also did not grade my work for finals and gave me an F. Sounds crazy right? I sent the administration proof that I turned in my work ON TIME and they still put me on academic suspension... NOT PROBATION, but SUSPENSION...IN MY FIRST YEAR.... Read More They completely covered for her and totally disregarded me as a human being. I'll never recommend this school.

This was my second master's degree. I felt that an MBA would further help further my career and it did. I really like being part of a cohort, and this college is perfectty suited for that modality. We met once weekly as a class, and then with our team to complete projects. It took two years, as expected. The instructors are all adjuncts, but this is nothing new. Most colleges operate using adjunct instructors. They were mostly good instructors, working in fields that directly related to the courses... Read More they taught. This is a private college and as such the cost was high.
