A tight fit community of both young and old believers, collectively striving together to transform tomorrow, today. Whether it be in the classroom, dinning hall, or dorm, this community knows how to have fun and glorify God.
Zachary from Rocklin, CA
the sense of community is so awesome at this school. everyone is so friendly and welcoming. i love living on campus and being involved.
Steven from Shingle Springs, CA
The education at William Jessup University is truly high quality. As a psychology major, I have been lucky to experience the best the school has to offer. The overqualified professors here at WJU pour time and passion into every detail of their lecture, making sure to entertain every learning style. While there is a strong incorporation of their religious belief within the program, it is presented in such a way as to not discriminate against other religions.
Emerick from Rocklin, CA
The classes at Jessup are top notch!! Every class is small enough where there is good teacher to student interaction. They make the assignments and projects as close as they can to real life scenarios which benefits every student for his or her future.
