Join Blue Mountain Performing Arts (BMPA) during their 84th concert season as they present “Sons of Serendip” at Bluefield College’s Harman Chapel on Thursday, September 12, 2019, at 7:30 p.m.

“Sons of Serendip” is a quartet consisting of a harpist, cellist, pianist, and a lead vocalist. This classical crossover ensemble consists of Kendall Ramseur, Cordaro Rodriguez, Mason Morton, and Micah Christian. “Sons of Serendip” were finalists on Season 9 of “America’s Got Talent.” Ever since their rise to fame, the quartet has toured throughout the nation delighting crowds with their original and unique compositions. “America’s Got Talent” judge, Howie Mandel, once said “[Sons of Serendip] are the most musically talented contestants on the show.”

BMPA’s goal is to provide the two Bluefields and the surrounding area with high-quality musical performances that will inspire its audiences. “Bluefield College has a long history of supporting BMPA, and we are looking forward to having Sons of Serendip on our campus,” said Dr. Charles Priest, associate professor and chair in the Music Department at Bluefield College.

Bluefield College students, faculty, and staff are admitted for free to all BMPA concerts with a valid Bluefield College identification card. General admission for the concert is $15. Tickets can be purchased online or at the event. To purchase tickets online visit www.bluemountainperformingarts.com and click on the “Membership and Ticket Information” tab. All of the BMPA events are “festival seating” meaning there are no reserved seats.

Do I only apply once?

  • No. Students must apply each academic year for the fall semester and submit the necessary documents.

Do I have to take the classes specified in the Associate's Degree tracks as they are listed on the information sheet?

  • No. Students may take any of the courses that are offered in a given term.

Where do I find the textbook listing, and where do I purchase the books?

  • Log in to myBU, and under the "Student" tab, you will find a list of the textbooks required (if any) for each course. Students are responsible for purchasing their own textbooks.

How long is a semester?

  • Our semesters are divided into two 8-week terms.

Is there an orientation?

  • Yes. Students can attend an orientation session that explains how to access courses, how to register for classes, and answers other questions.

Where can I find a course description?

Does the student need to take the SAT or ACT in order to take Dual Enrollment classes?

  • No. If a student decides to study at BU full time, BU is currently test-optional for the 2021-2022 admissions cycle.

Are the classes live? Do students need to log in and participate at certain times?

  • Classes are offered online, so a student can log-on and study at their convenience and their own pace. Students have assignments due each week; you can complete your assignments at any point in time before the deadline.

Does an Early College student need to come to campus for anything?

  • No. However, we would love to have you visit our campus if you are interested in continuing with traditional on-campus study. Students who complete their associate's degree have the option to walk at our commencement ceremony.

Are Early College students able to receive Financial Aid?

  • No. However, Early College courses are very affordable compared to other options. The cost for an online Dual Enrollment course is $100 per credit hour.

How do transferring credits work?

  • Each College or University completes a transcript review in order to decide which courses transfer. Sticking to general education classes generally makes transferring credits simple. All Early College courses at Bluefield University are general education classes that should transfer to another accredited institution.

Is an Early College student considered, and treated, as a transfer student when they become a full-time college student if they have earned enough credits to be a Junior?

  • No. Since they have not graduated from high school, they are considered a first-time college student regardless of how many credits transfer. However, by transferring credits when they enroll as a full-time student, they will have to take fewer classes to receive their bachelor's degree, which shortens the length of time to earn the degree.

Can I speak to someone if I have more questions?

  • Yes. Please contact the Office of Admissions by email or you can call them at 276.326.4231
