ECE, Teaching, Counselling & Social Work StudyBTI has a reputation for graduating students who are highly sought after by schools, ECE centres, agencies and people helping fields.
Driven by our Christian faith, we foster a strong sense of community that is enjoyed by students and staff alike. We teach in small groups, onsite or by distance, and students have open access to staff who are engaged in research, 7 of whom are PhDs. This means that we really get to know you. Our motto here is "GREAT HEARTS + MINDS." |
|
This motto sums up our dedication to both personal and professional growth; our belief that we can inspire and encourage people to grow holistically as well as academically. Stretching our students toward excellence in their chosen field is a high priority and developing the "whole person" as an integral part of that process is really important to us.
This approach makes our graduates stand out from the crowd, be different, and, most importantly, make a difference in the lives of others.
