The university is composed of three colleges:
Most students are currently serving as business, government, NGO, church or mission leaders; pastors, consultants, authors, urban ministers, professors or activists. Over 70% of BGU's faculty, students and alumni are located outside of North America with concentrations in Africa, Asia, Central America, the Caribbean, Europe, and South America but only a few graduates in Australia. Students are not required to relocate from their home cities except for the two weeks when they may join an urban immersion. HistoryBGU was founded by a global network originally started by Billy Graham in the early 1970s called the Lausanne Committee for World Evangelization (LCWE).[1] As a result, BGU begin in the early 2000s with an already globally distributed student body and faculty network in over 50 countries. A value statement BGU adapted from LCWE is “The Whole World, the Whole City, the Whole Church, the Whole Gospel and the Whole Person.” [2] The original name proposed for BGU in 2003 by naming consultants was “Paradox University” reflecting the difficulty of having pastors, business leaders, and urban ministers in the same courses with different mindsets and viewpoints. [3]Instead the school was named “Bakke Graduate University” to reflect the story of a family that was part of the founding group which had four siblings with prominent careers that mirrored the paradox of the school’s vision: Ray Bakke is an urban leader who pioneered innovative community development approaches and was part of the LCWE Urban Associates who held 250 city consultations in large global cities between 1983 and 2003. {{CN|date=August 2018}} Dennis Bakke is cofounder of AES Corporation, an electricity company that had 40,000 employees in 36 countries; providing electricity to 100 million people especially in developing nations.
