Change your perspective

We know the college search process can be intimidating and confusing. Every place starts to look the same, and how are you supposed to afford it?

Let’s start here. Johnson is a unique Christian university because:

Our students double major – a major in Bible & Theology and a major of their choice.
Our campus is 440 beautiful acres – but just 10 miles from downtown Knoxville.
Many of our faculty live on campus.
We’ve got the best dorms in the country.
We work hard to keep our tuition as low as possible, and 98% of our students receive scholarships.
