I don’t have to leave my house to attend class. I’m thankful I could stay close to home and be able to work while going to college. It’s been awesome.

Be the First

I looked into BVU because my supervisor suggested it, and I discovered that I could get my entire degree online. I liked that I could do it all on my own time. I was the first one in my family to graduate high school and the only one that has gone to college, so it was an accomplishment for me.

Connected Community, Strong Support

After earning his bachelor's degree from BVU, Dhaval Bhatt pursues his masters's in organizational leadership while living in California. Thanks to expert faculty dedicated to his success, it has been a positive experience.

I’m having the same experience I did as an undergraduate through BVU - I continue to work at my job while getting the support I need from all my BVU instructors. It is so easy to email, text, or call my professors as I continue to learn.
