  1. Simpson University

    • 4 Year
    • Redding, CA
    • 388 reviews

    Alum: Not only is Simpson in a beautiful location, it maintains high standards in academic excellence, offers a low student to teacher ratio so there's a personal experience, has a new president with great vision and a welcoming personality, is growing in its athletic programs, and has a state-of-the-art science building and highly ranked nursing program. I'm proud to be an alum of SU!

  2. Shasta College

    • 4 Year

    Sophomore: I have been attending Shasta College since I was a Junior in high school, and have loved every moment. All the teachers and professors are excellent and always willing to work with students to achieve understanding. The college offers free on-site and in-class tutoring. The attitude from the professors and staff at Shasta College is that of encouragement and productivity. I would highly recommend this college to anyone either starting or going back to college.

  3. Shasta Bible College & Graduate School

    • 4 Year
    • Redding, CA
    • 7 reviews

    Alum: Let me first say that whoever left a one-star review clearly has a grudge and overstated things to say the least. After spending four years on campus, living in the dorms, and earning my BA in Bible and Theology, I can say that this school is a blessing and serves the Lord. I rate Shasta Bible College highly because, first and foremost, they place doctrinal integrity at the top of their list of priorities. Unfortunately, this institution like all is operated by fallen individuals and is not free of problems altogether. For anyone considering Shasta Bible College, I am confident that your life and ministry would greatly benefit from the education this institution can provide.

    Bastyr University

    • 4 Year
    • Kenmore, WA
    • 182 reviews

    Alum: Bastyr University gave me the most incredible education! The professors made sure that as graduates would be able to go out into the world and be able to use our BS, or we were completely prepared to take the next step and enter into a Master's Program.

    That being said the curriculum was incredibly tough as most of our professors taught on the Undergraduate level, Graduate level and many of the professors taught the Naturopathic Doctors program as well. So their standards set high for the Bachelor's programs!
