Business Admin
Attending Bryan University was a challenging yet incredibly rewarding experience. It was the first time in my life that I took a leap of faith by returning to school—and not only did I finish, but I also achieved excellent grades. The staff and faculty, especially the instructors, were always kind, patient, and supportive throughout my journey. My year at the school was filled with personal growth and accomplishment, and I highly encourage anyone considering a career path to take that first step—face your fears, pursue your dreams, and believe in yourself. Thank you to everyone at Bryan University who supported me along the way. Your encouragement and guidance will always be appreciated and remembered.
Medical Billing and Coding
My experience at Bryan University has been incredibly positive and transformative. The program and courses are easy to follow and very flexible, which was especially important for me while working full time. Time management was definitely a challenge at times—there were days I simply didn’t have the energy to complete my schoolwork. But whenever I reached out to my instructors to explain my situation, they were understanding, supportive, and often gave me the time I needed to catch up. That kind of support made a big difference in helping me stay on track. The instructors at Bryan University are truly dedicated to student success. I had one professor who would personally reach out to check on me, offer help, and remind me of upcoming assignments. Her hands-on approach and encouragement were something I really appreciated. Bryan University has helped me achieve a lifelong goal, and I’m truly grateful for everyone who played a part in my journey.
My time at Bryan University was nothing short of amazing. The quality of the courses was excellent, and for a 40-week program, everything was structured in the best way possible to ensure we got the most out of our education in a timely and efficient manner. The faculty at Bryan University is absolutely outstanding—everyone made me feel like part of a family. While I didn’t need to reach out for additional support often, I always knew that someone would be there if I ever needed help. That sense of community and care made all the difference during my studies. After graduating, I used my degree for about three years, working as a self-employed personal trainer and running group training sessions. It was a fulfilling experience, and my education definitely prepared me for it. More recently, I’ve chosen to shift my focus to my family after having two children, and I’m grateful for the flexibility that my education and background have given me during this stage of life. Bryan University helped shape both my professional and personal journey, and I’m thankful for the knowledge, relationships, and support I gained during my time there.
Bryan University has truly been a life-changing part of my educational journey. From the moment I enrolled, I was met with top-notch courses, outstanding professors, and an incredibly supportive community. I originally enrolled with the intention of earning just an associate degree back in 2016—but here I am in 2024, still committed to pursuing higher education, and that’s thanks in large part to the experience I had at BU. One professor who made an unforgettable impact on me is Dr. Warren Martin, PhD. Words can’t fully express the respect and admiration I have for him. I once failed one of his classes earlier in my academic journey, but during my time in the master’s program, I often found myself reflecting on that experience—and how much it shaped me. Dr. Martin is the kind of educator who matches your energy and effort. If you’re trying, he’s right there beside you, doing everything he can to help you succeed. His dedication and support were instrumental in my growth and perseverance. Every professor at Bryan University brought that same level of care. They were always willing to provide additional support or tutoring when needed, especially in challenging courses like accounting. The staff was not only engaging and responsive but genuinely understanding during some of the most difficult times in my life. While at BU, I faced significant personal hardships throughout studies but through it all, the university staff showed me compassion and flexibility that I’ll never forget. Academically, BU prepared me to continue advancing toward my goals. BU helped me grow as a person. I’ve matured, become more disciplined, and developed the resilience to keep moving forward no matter the circumstances. Bryan University isn’t just a school—it’s a place where you’re seen, supported, and set up to succeed. I’m proud to be part of its community.
