One of the best things about the online marketing program at CBU was the flexibility involved in advancing in the material and learning at my own pace. I was able to learn the key terms involved in marketing and how to utilize them and intertwine them with real-world brands. Moreover, the online marketing program at CBU instilled in me how one can honor and glorify God through their work as a marketer.

The CBU kinesiology program allows the student to focus on the essentials of movement anatomy, physiology, and the psychological aspects of sports. Though this provides the student with the mastery required to hit the work field running, the best part about CBU’s kinesiology program is the integrated faith.
