What I noticed attending Bryan College as a residential undergraduate was how much my business professors cared about me as a person and not just my academic performance. Although I proudly boasted to my professors that ‘I’m never going back to school after I finish this bachelor’s degree’, years and many life lessons later, I am blessed to continue the tradition of offering a high quality business education through a biblical lens.
