Experiential learning, including internships, student research, and practica, connects our curriculum to actual practice. We practice the well-founded belief that students learn best by doing. We also have highly-developed, seamless connections with other educational institutions, locally, regionally, and nationally. While it cannot provide all the services directly, the University can and does help discover and implement cooperative programs with other institutions. Through all of these connections, we prepare students for a lifetime of effective leadership in their professions and in their lives as citizens - for tomorrow and beyond.
Many universities lay claim to various combinations of the characteristics outlined above.
What makes us different is the degree to which we are committed to following through on all of these characteristics. We exist to prepare our graduates for the careers of a lifetime. Continuous improvement is a driving force in everything we do.
