Bushnell University is a private Christian university in Eugene, Oregon, United States. It is historically affiliated with the Christian churches and churches of Christ.

The numbers tell a mixed story here: the 62% graduation rate and 71% freshman retention suggest that roughly 1 in 3 students don't finish, which is worth taking seriously before enrolling. On the positive side, median debt at graduation is a relatively low $15,633, and the small campus (533 undergrads) means a tight-knit, faith-centered community that suits students who want close faculty relationships within a Christian environment. Worth considering if you're drawn to that Christian Churches tradition and thrive in small settings, but go in with a clear academic plan and make sure the support structures align with your needs.
