For the last eight decades, Jessup University’s mission has remained unchanged. We aim to educate transformational leaders through unapologetically Christ-centered higher education. Our faculty and staff are committed to Christ-centered higher education that equips students for transformational leadership so they can become whole and flourishing individuals.
In Ephesians 4, Scripture tells us that we should be diligent to preserve the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. Our Community Covenant embodies both our common calling and commitments, and each year we ask all faculty and staff to reaffirm this commitment to our shared mission, calling, and beliefs.
We encourage you to review those here on our website. Please view our open roles below and see how you can join us in this mission.
