I feel Bellevue University respects students of all ages. As an older student, they have treated me with the respect and dignity I needed to feel comfortable going back to college after a twenty year gap in attendance. Their accelerated Bachelors program is allowing me to gain the degree I have always wanted and nowadays 'need' in order to qualify for a job making me and my 20 years of experience a great package for my next employer!
