51³Ô¹ÏÍøÊÓƵ IS more
At 51³Ô¹ÏÍøÊÓƵ, we feel a true education is about more than increasing your knowledge in a particular field. It's about applying that knowledge in real time to not only learn the latest theories, but also how to use those theories to advance in your chosen career.
Whether it is research, performance or hands-on training, 51³Ô¹ÏÍøÊÓƵ students benefit from working with one another and their professors to gain real-world, applicable experience. Our students learn problem solving and team work ... things that aren't taught in a 300-seat lecture hall. A 51³Ô¹ÏÍøÊÓƵ education prepares students to take the next step, whether that is continuing on to grad school, or entering the job force --- Like Kyle Rickman.
