What Current Students Say See All 15 Comments >

What makes BC's business program unique is the combination of high quality content, teaching quality, and the student body. Use of strong, real world examples paired with enthusiastic and effective teaching skills really drive students to learn and succeed. On top of this, I think that the atmosphere among students contributes. A friendly competition type of environment allows students of all types to speak up and be heard, while driving meaningful conversation to enhance learning.
