Briercrest has been such a blessing to me! Living in a community of Christians who are dedicated to following Jesus, value quality learning and quality relationships, and like to have fun has been incredible. Briercrest is the full package!
Rylee from Canada
Briercrest is defined by its community, focusing its small student body around sports, chapel, student life, and dorm life. It offers a unique spread of transferable courses and programs for a Christian college, with professors that invest time into personally getting to know students and seeking to help them excel in their studies. Briercrest has become a second home to me, and I wouldn't want to attend any other school.
