It’s why we have instructors with deep industry know-how to give students the latest skills and training. And it’s why we maximize hands-on learning with facilities like the Jack Science Center, the renowned National Energy Center of Excellence and our new, future-forward Health Sciences simulation facility. In addition, we’re building young minds with LEA Hall, home to our strong and robust arts and communications program, and a brand new library that serves as a 21st century learning center for student collaboration and research.
