Here to help you succeed

At the forefront of our strengths are well-qualified and student-oriented faculty and staff who are dedicated to providing quality education and place great emphasis on preparing graduates for leadership roles in the local, national, and global communities. A low student-to-faculty ratio (18:1) affords more individualized attention, thus improving the learning process and outcomes for students. 

Department of Information TechnologyOther benchmarks vital to the process include a timely and relevant curriculum, “hands-on” learning opportunities that enhance career prospects and job placement (e.g., internships, job shadowing programs, service learning activities, and consulting projects), technologically advanced classrooms, and a wide range of student organizations and honor societies available for membership and leadership opportunities. 

The College is actively engaged with business and industry, governmental units, and public institutions through various outreach activities aimed at positively impacting economic and community development, as well as quality of life for students and constituents. We invite you to check out links to our Center for Business & Entrepreneurial Services and the Small Business Development Center. 

Our goal is to prepare you for a successful and meaningful career, while simultaneously helping you grow and develop as a person. We strongly believe that you can succeed academically and thoroughly enjoy your total college experience as well. Come join our family and “DO SOMETHING THAT MATTERS!”
