Students are offered special housing that matches their interests, and top faculty members, who live on campus, help students make the most of their college experiences. A Career Success Academy is matching students with alumni mentors. The innovative career planning program starts in the freshman year and includes career exploration, work experience, and help in finding that first job. An off-campus housing office is also available to assist students. The PRT was recently rated tops in its class.
Membership is free.
