“With Tabor College’s program, the online platform makes it doable as a full-time employee. The program also had set due dates so I could plan out my week, space out the work, and manage my time better. The availability of the professors is a big part of the degree. Because of Tabor and its values, some amazing professors have walked with us and are flexible when ‘life happens. Every class had spiritual life discussions, allowing me to see how to further bring my faith into my life. Having your faith integrated reminds you that God is at the center, Tabor carries an awesome program, and it’s a blessing to be able to walk through that and incorporate it into everyday life.”
