"All the instructors are the same, they genuinely care. They take the time to focus on you. They'll stay after class, you can call them, email them - whatever you need, they'll help you."
Torrez Brooks pursuing BBA in Business Administration, Vine Grove, KY
"I was looking for something that could be beneficial for me so I could work and earn my degree. At McKendree, I can focus on one class at a time and go to class while working my full time job."
Joseph Cecil pursuing AS in Business Administration, Elizabethtown, KY
"I started the BSN program at McKendree to validate my years of leadership experience.
I was so impressed with the nursing program that I continued into the MSN program
and chose the Manager/Administrator track. I completed the Doctorate of Nursing Practice
just for me, working full time and maintaining a 4.0 GPA. The McKendree focus on ethical
leadership defines the nursing leader I choose to be. McK professors have become family
through the years. I have gained tremendous insight from many of the caring instructors
who have helped guide me through life's crucibles, including devastating family loss
and personal and professional milestones. My heart will always belong to McK. I continue
to encourage and support current students. I fully recommend the McK Nursing program.
I wish for my grandchildren to be touched by educators as sincere, warm and caring
as those at McKendree University."
Shelia Grigsby '12 BSN, '15 MSN, '19 DNP, Mt. Washington, KY
"My experience at McKendree has been nothing but positive. Professors want to see students succeed and go above and beyond to help. The four- to eight-week classes are great. It's so much easier to focus on one to two subjects instead of four or five."

"It is reinvigorating to be able to see the finish line and visualize all the possibilities after living this labor of love."

"Taking classes online at McKendree University was very convenient for me. The staff worked with me throughout my online journey and were extremely helpful, professional, and caring. They were always checking up on me and making sure I had everything I needed to be successful.
