Featured Programs & Degrees
Bachelor of Science in Organizational Leadership
The B.S. in Organizational Leadership prepares students to be effective leaders at any level of an organization. Students fine tune their leadership skills by engaging in critical thinking, practicing problem solving, motivating and empowering their peers, and learning how to communicate effectively. Students will also have a chance to learn, compare, and contrast different leadership styles as a way to consider what does and does not work in an organization. Upon completion of the program, students will be ready to implement the theories and methodologies they have learned into real-world settings.
Bachelor of Science in Computer Systems Technology
The Computer Systems Technology (CST) program is great for working professionals, military personnel, and other motivated students who are eager to complete their degree. Through a combination of information technology and computer systems instruction, the CST program develops students into analytical thinkers who can both diagnose a problem and also solve it. The future for information specialists is bright! The Bureau of Labor Statistics projects that computer systems technology will continue to develop and that the need for information specialists will rapidly increase within the next ten years.
