“Keeping an open mind about the possibilities and choosing Montreat ended up giving me more opportunities than if I had gone somewhere larger. At Montreat, your experience is going to be so personal.”

"People want to feel that they matter. Going to a small school like Montreat allows you to get involved early, and you’re going to be given space to become an adult. It’s not just an education. It becomes a change of your worldview."

"There’s truly something special about Montreat and the atmosphere, even in an online format. Everybody wants you to succeed. Sometimes, I forgot I was online because I felt very, very connected."

“Montreat challenged me to think outside the box and had courses structured around thinking through problems an organization might face. That problem-solving mentality and training has helped me in my success as a manager."

"What makes Montreat different and what makes Montreat such a unique school and experience is that there’s genuine care. Your professors genuinely take an interest in your lives. They genuinely take an interest in who you are as a person."

“Lots of students lose their faith during college, but Montreat has dramatically strengthened my faith. It’s a place where I can practice my faith and go after the degree of my dreams. Montreat is an important place.”

Growing up as a pastor’s kid, I always knew about God, but Montreat presented new views and challenges. Without challenge, you won’t experience growth. Slowly, step by step, conversation after conversation, my faith became solidified as my own, not just my parents.

I thought it was a really beautiful campus and an amazing place to be for four years. It had the major I wanted and the sport I play, so I thought, “Why not try it out?”

"Within the first week that I started my job, I was prompted to do something I had just learned how to do in my class, and I had previously never heard of it. It just tickled me because I could instantly use the knowledge that I gained."

One of my favorite things about Montreat is the honors program. You get to dive deeper into topics, and you’re around people who have a real thirst for knowledge and want to make academics a priority in their time at college.

Montreat College was the one school that was the most personal to me. They’re here for the students, and they can really tune in individually to your specific needs.

Through a lot of prayer, I was led here, and everything’s just fallen into place ever since. Of course, it helps that Montreat has one of the top cybersecurity programs in the country.
