Hear From Our Students

Student
"I graduated with a Business Administration Degree with a Concentration in Marketing. My experience at Bushnell has played a vital role in landing my current job. The foundational knowledge I gained from Professor Silverthorne, in addition to the practical skills acquired during my internship were instrumental in shaping my career path. My internship with Jane Bourvis, a wedding dress designer in London, under the guidance of Christy Silverthorne, provided me with essential skills in Google Analytics and SEO which ultimately gave me the experience that I needed in my current position as a Digital Marketing Specialist, which has since evolved into a Project Manager role at Kinetic Creative and Marketing, based in Billings, MT."

"I am very fortunate to have been a business student at Bushnell University. I got to really practice the business concepts that were being taught in the classroom. One of my favorite classes at Bushnell University was Management Information Systems. I was always looking forward to that class because the professor was so engaging and gave us projects that were both fun and informative. We used Tableau, a visual analytics platform, to explore the power of telling a story through data. The business school at Bushnell University gave me the tools and skills that I needed to be in my current role today. As a marketing assistant at Harvest House Publishers, I have been learning how to use Google marketing tools like Google Analytics and Google AdWords to gain potential customers."
