While many students choose to attend Johnson University to prepare for careers in Christian ministries, the university also awards undergraduate and graduate degrees in disciplines such as audio production, global community health, nonprofit administration, and organizational psychology. Students can also earn more than 25 certificates and degrees, including a Ph.D. in leadership studies, entirely online. Both online and in-person learners enjoy access to a host of career services. Career counselors can, for instance, help students choose a major, identify internships and service-learning opportunities, and connect with JU alumni working in their chosen field. Through group workshops and individual appointments, students can also receive feedback on their resumes and cover letters or prepare for upcoming interviews. The university also hosts a job board exclusively for positions at churches and faith-based organizations. Undergraduate applicants must submit high school transcripts, ACT or SAT scores, and two references. Prospective students must also sign a personal statement of faith.
