I selected Bushnell because it was local and 100% online. I had a family and a 50 hour a week job, and the Bushnell program allowed the flexibility to pursue my educational goals and arrange my studies around my work and home life. The Bushnell program offered structure in the course and the framework of the program but a tremendous amount of flexibility in what I chose to study."
