MBBI students are required (regardless of financial need) to work on campus a minimum of 15 hours a week as part of the Institute program. On-campus work assignments are made directly by the HR department – no employment application is necessary. Students are compensated per the going rate for each job/status. MBBI academic credit is also earned for faithful service. Students desiring to work on campus more than 20 hours a week require permission from the program director. Through MBU’s employment mentoring program, students will develop life skills and discipline, reduce their expenses and contribute to overall campus life. HR will assign employment positions to first-year students based upon skills and university needs. Second year students will have the first opportunity to apply for available positions.
