Messiah University Reviews
As far as the majors, I have experience in 6 different majors. The Bible program can be intense but it is good. Our music major is okay, but definitely more band focused than choir. Our business and athletic departments are both amazing and I have loved every moment and interaction in these departments. I have also heard wonderful things about our nursing department from friends but I personally am not a part of it. Overall, it is a good school, but if you are a conservative, be prepared for a lot of left wing views. Especially when it comes to study abroad, it is a great program but do not even consider it if you are not vaccinated for covid.
Good luck choosing a school and God bless!
