Blue Mountain Christian University assists students in developing intellectual integrity, academic excellence, civility, and Christian character.

Founded in 1873 as a Christian liberal arts college and affiliated since 1920 with the Mississippi Baptist Convention, the University recruits undergraduate and graduate students who are committed to scholarship, servant leadership, and service in church and community. The student-centered campus exhibits a climate of personal attention, respect, inclusion, and high expectations in all modes of delivery. Students are guided to reach their God-given potential with the leadership of professionals who share the common bond of Christian faith and who are committed to excellence.

The purpose of Blue Mountain Christian University is to prepare students for graduate school, the job market, and a more fulfilled life. Providing a sound general education foundation, the University offers an undergraduate liberal arts curriculum, pre-professional and professional programs, and opportunities for graduate study in selected fields. The University is committed to offering programs which provide opportunities for service. Students who can benefit from the academic programs and student services at the University are recruited primarily from Mississippi and other southeastern states.

Blue Mountain Christian University is committed to excellence and creativity in teaching and learning. With a faculty and staff who share a common bond of Christian faith and with all of the departments functioning in close proximity to each other, continuity exists among the various programs. Students are encouraged to grow as individuals, to adjust to their own uniqueness, and to take advantage of opportunities for service.
