Testimonial

When I came to TFC, I was looking for a versatile degree that was rooted in a Christian perspective, and that is exactly what I have received. The Entrepreneurship program at TFC has given me a well-rounded grasp of business, and I feel prepared to enter nearly any business-related field following graduation! The smaller class sizes have enhanced my learning while also promoting relationships with professors and fellow students. The professors have given the program a close-knit feeling, and I’ve enjoyed going through it with other students, some of whom have become my closest friends. Group projects and study sessions make the material come alive, and professors plan creative assignments that make class fun, such as a white elephant version of Sales presentation topics with hilarious wardrobes to supplement. Every upper-level school prompts academic growth, but TFC uniquely combines that with promoting emotional, spiritual, and character growth as well.
