Student
Paula Frantz
"As a 30 plus year employee of the financial institution I always knew a degree was important but struggled to find the time to focus on a degree. With the encouragement of my CEO and support of my children I began my journey researching educational opportunities. I chose Bushnell due to the convenience of an online program and great reputation that they have in the community of supporting their students.
By obtaining my degree, even at this late stage in life, I am well equipped with my knowledge, skills, and abilities to be worthy of any promotional opportunities that I choose to explore. I would highly recommend Bushnell University for those individuals that are seeking to further their careers and knowledge."

In fact, I made lifelong connections with my professors, and continue to stay engaged with the faculty at the school. I was, and continue to be, encouraged by the Christ centered focus of the school, and its application of Christian principles in all disciplines.
