As an New tabApple Distinguished School—an honor awarded to only a handful of colleges in the country—we equip every student and professor with an iPad to enhance learning outcomes while leveling the technological playing field regardless of economic means.

Using the latest Apple technology and supporting software, we strive to meet the unique and evolving learning needs to the rising generation while reducing student costs, such as textbooks. This tech empowers students, facilitates innovation in the classroom and disrupts traditional, lecture-based teaching methods in favor of collaborative learning.

The Arts provide an opportunity for students to hone their talents and perform in the spotlight–skills that will serve them throughout their lives and careers.

Because the Arts help recruit incremental students who may not have attended otherwise, sponsoring these programs also generates an annual return on investment for the university.
