Muller’s Musings

“Patience and perseverance have a magical effect before which difficulties disappear and obstacles vanish.” – John Quincy Adams

A moment with Bellevue University President John B. Muller, Ph.D.

In this quote President John Quincy Adams could very well have been talking about the efforts of our graduates. During each commencement ceremony, I look admiringly on them all as people with a great amount of patience and perseverance. They, like you today, stood on the doorstep of Bellevue University once wondering if they could “do it.” They came to us with demanding jobs, busy households, community obligations, and their own personal stories of why adding college to their lives could really be challenging. But, they persevered. And they patiently took the steps – one at a time – to reach their long-term goals. I know you can, too.

The obstacles most students come to us with are time, money, and self-confidence. Yes, it takes time to attend college. But we help you schedule Bellevue University into your life. With tailored online programs, and one-night-a-week and weekend in-class options, you will find a stride that works for you.

And, yes, it takes money to attend college. But we help you access financial resources that help pave the way. What you have to remember is that your earning power increases significantly with your respected degree in hand, so it’s well worth it to let us help you find the resources to enroll.

And, yes, it takes self-confidence to return to college – particularly if you’ve not attended in a while. But you can do it. Just hold on to that feeling, or that voice in your head that told you to inquire. Feed that desire in your heart that knows you have what it takes to improve your life with relevant, real world education.

You know, nothing improves your outlook or your opportunities like a college degree. We will help you tap into that “magical effect before which difficulties disappear and obstacles vanish.”
