They wrote: “The Team was very impressed with the Capstone program at McPherson and even more impressed with the diversity of programs and the number of students participating.… The Capstone experience utilized by all programs is excellent.” Ninety percent of McPherson College graduates who apply are accepted into graduate and professional schools.
