High school students thinking about college close to home can get an inside look at Blue Mountain Christian University next week. BMCU Preview Day is set for Thursday, Nov. 19, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on the Blue Mountain campus, and the university is now taking registrations online.
In a post on its official Facebook page on Thursday, BMCU invited prospective students to “come see what BMCU is all about,” with a chance to explore campus and meet current students and faculty.

What Students Can Expect
The day is built to give visitors a feel for everyday life at the small Baptist university in southern Tippah County. According to BMCU, students will be able to tour the campus, meet students and faculty, and see what life at Blue Mountain is like.
The registration form asks students to pick a program of interest, and the list shows how much the school offers today. Options include nursing, education, biology, exercise science, music and worship leadership, business administration, accounting, computer science, cybersecurity, criminal justice, psychology, Christian ministry and more. Students who are undecided can say so.
The form also lets students:
Bring additional guests, such as parents or siblings
Request a school excuse form for missing class that day
Note whether they are being recruited by a BMCU coach for NAIA athletics
List accessibility or dietary needs ahead of time
Choose a T-shirt size
A Busy Fall in Blue Mountain
Preview Day comes during an active season for the university. BMCU recently opened its new Center for Grace and Healing with a ribbon cutting, and Topper athletic teams are in the middle of fall and winter play, including the volleyball team’s run at the SSAC Championship this week.
For families in Tippah, Benton and surrounding counties, Blue Mountain is one of the closest four-year college options, just a few miles south of Ripley on Highway 15. Students who can’t make the Nov. 19 date can contact BMCU Admissions at (662) 685-4771 or admissions@bmc.edu to ask about other visit options.
