The School of Engineering students gain hands-on learning in a wide range of workshops for Civil, Industrial, Mechanical, and Software Engineering, plus Computer Science.

The School of Communications helps students “tell stories” in all majors using ultra-high-definition Sony FS5 4k and 5k Super 35 Red Dragon cameras, multimedia and digital design labs, a news innovation center, and all the latest software.  

The Schools of Health Sciences and Nursing have graduated health professionals in nearly every field who work in hospitals, clinics, corporations, and organizations across the country.

The School of Education offers students interested in teaching a five-year BA/Master of Arts in Teaching degree program. The innovative program combines education courses with a liberal arts or science major and provides experience in classroom teaching.
