Testimonial

My time spent at TFC was a tremendous time of growth and fulfillment. Classes provided a phenomenal balance of unbiased facts, biblical perspective and application, and opportunity for independent thought. My business classes were particularly small which allowed me to develop skills, ask questions, and get to know my peers, professors, and even myself a bit better. Though generally introverted and quiet, these classes were an ideal environment for me to find my voice as I grew in my understanding, perspectives, and opinions. Whether we were studying finance, marketing, or international business, there were always many personalities and voices to make learning interesting and dynamic. When beginning my first job outside of college (sales/planner for a Japanese manufacturer), I felt incredibly prepared. Each professor brought his/her own experience, expertise, thought, and care to the classes and students which provided a lasting impact.
