“The flexibility of the online program was what really attracted me to Point Loma Nazarene University. I travel a lot for work and occasionally have conferences on weekends. With the online format, I can travel wherever, do my homework on the airplane, and it’s just so much better for my schedule. An online program format offered by an accredited Christian university was a great fit to take my education to the next level.” – Iris Quimby (19)
