I went back to school at Mid-America Christian University the following semester to pursue a Degree in Psychology. It is my belief that once I started school at Mid-America Christian University, I began to learn in a much different way than ever before. After completing my first two semesters at MACU growing closer and closer to the University is exactly what I was doing.

Hello all, this is John Havard. This is my second class, returning to school after about an eight-year break. I have taken more than a few courses from Riverside Community College and Cal State San Bernardino in the past. I decided to go with Brandman since a few of my friends have attended Brandman and it seems like a great fit for me and my work schedule. As I work in IT at a school district and spend a fair amount of time in a windowless office, I like to spend as much of my free time as I can outdoors.
