Why Bushnell?

Christ-centered Community. Spiritual formation is integrated in the classroom and throughout the entire Bushnell experience. Since 85% of a student’s time is spent outside of the classroom, Bushnell provides ways for students to grow together in community and faith. Through campus ministry, residence life, student programs, and athletics, students find meaningful opportunities to get involved and build friendships that last a lifetime.

Location. Bushnell is part of the University District in the college town of Eugene, Oregon. There are numerous benefits to living in a college town that is a short distance from both the Oregon Coast and the Cascade Mountains. Attending college in Eugene means living in the 2nd largest city in the state of Oregon, providing access to dozens of eateries, coffee houses, hiking trails, bike paths, and commerce. But that’s not the only option, as students can also attend from anywhere with Bushnell’s online bachelor’s and master’s programs.
