Faith: Stand on belief in God. Through Faith, spiritual understanding is developed. Through faith, we are elevated beyond mental ability and emotional substance to realm of impossibility, where all things are possible. At BU improbabilities are non-existent.
Godliness: The simple idea of transforming Christian values into daily living and one’s active personal lifestyle.
Academic Freedom: BU encourages honest expression, which enables intellectual growth among students, faculty, and staff. Academic Freedom develops in an environment that is committed to excellence in learning.
Creativity & Innovation: WRTBU promotes the holistic, well-rounded development of its faculty, staff and students. Creativity, when applied to the whole individual needs and nurtured in an academic environment, develops unparalleled mindsets in individuals’ innovation and communities’ development.
Prudence: BU believes in and encourages a personal well-being that is born of good judgment, tied to, sensibility, cautious action and sensitivity. Prudence is grounded on these principles thereby giving rise to wisdom.
