Special Activities
Throughout the school year, the students participate in special activities, which are planned and administered by the Student Government Association. Among these are:
Discovery Days: Discovery Days is a week set aside each semester when students invite friends, pastors, and relatives to see the campus and observe the classes.
International Day: Included in the university student body are students from more than thirty different countries who make up a significant percent of the student population. To honor this diversity, BHU sets aside special festive days. International students dress in their national dress and food from many different countries is served.
Ministry and Leadership Seminars: As a supplement to the normal classroom setting, ministry and leadership events are held regularly for students and staff.
Thanksgiving Dinner: In recognition of those students who are away from family on Thanksgiving Day and especially for international students, the student government serves Thanksgiving dinner to all students.
Spiritual Life
It is the desire of the Board of Trustees that Beulah Heights University be characterized by the pervading presence of the Holy Spirit. They recognize that a theological school, however faithful at its birth to the truth of God’s Word, can, over a course of years, decline from emphasis upon the prominence of the Word of God and the humble dependence upon the Holy Spirit.
For this reason, strongest emphasis is placed upon cultivating and maintaining the spiritual life of the university, faculty, staff, and students.
Student Government Association
All students are eligible for membership in the Student government Association (SGA) of Beulah Heights University. SGA give students a voice for matters of general student concern. The president and treasurer of SGA elected in a general campus election. SGA coordinates the interaction among campus organizations, student body, faculty, and administration under the supervision of the office of Student Life.
Student Clubs and Associations
In addition to the Student Government Association, there are a variety of ways for students to get involved and be active.
Performing and Visual Arts: All students who enjoy expressing their faith or worship through dancing, singing, art, etc. are welcome to join this association to fellowship, plan events, rehearse, and to bring exposure and awareness to the believers of alternative forms of creative expression.
BHU Campus Ministries: Students who wish to get involved in campus life can connect with BHU Campus Ministries as a volunteer. BHU-CM plans student ran worship services like SNL [Saturday Night Live], and similar special events.

RAs vary per semester and receive a minimal stipend for their service. If you are a student resident interested in being an RA, please contact the Residence Life office for availability and information on how to apply.
