College of Engineering & Natural Sciences

A distinguishing characteristic of the academic program in our college is the small student-teacher ratio of eleven-to-one. This ensures that all classes are offered as needed and are taught by faculty, not by graduate students. Individual student instructional needs are recognized and addressed, and meaningful research participation with professors becomes an integral component of the overall learning experience.

Collins College of Business

Collins College of Business focuses on flexible programs, which meet the needs of its students, while providing graduates who meet the needs of the business and health care communities.

To provide its students with an environment that encourages personal success, the college strives to maintain low student-to-faculty ratios in its classes and of course, classes taught by full-time college faculty. The college has put a greater emphasis on faculty advising, so guidance begins right at the freshman level and continues as the student progresses.
