            2010-2014, Bachelor of Science

            Great experienceI attended CIU from 2010 to 2014 and earned my B.S. in Business & Organizational Leadership. I had a great experience while at CIU. The faculty are awesome. The campus is small and beautiful. The Bible classes are stellar. The business & organizational leadership program is young but already off to a fabulous start. This is a great opportunity to develop meaningful relationships and to grow in your walk with Christ. I met my wife at CIU also. Some students even jokingly call CIU "See I do."

            Learned a Christian (Biblical) Worldview at CBC that was invaluable to meI got a Christian (Biblical) Worldview at CBC that was invaluable in my career as both teacher and School Administrator in Christian Education for the past 41 years! That is EVERY professor who not only taught, but lived out everyday -- seeing life from God's point of view!!
