Testimonials

2019 / Bachelor of Arts - Music
“As soon as I started my classes in the music program at Burman I felt a sense of community. The smaller class sizes made the department feel like a close family. All of the professors really cared about each students and my fellow students were a support for each other through the program. I always be thankful for my time at Burman.”
