We do things differently here. A lot differently. You'll see what we mean.
Here, we put students first. So much so that we provide every student with their own success coordinator to ensure a personalized and rewarding experience. We foster leadership through service. We innovate, quickly and constantly. If we see a way to better serve our students, we do it. Even if it means cutting tuition by 57% to make an excellent undergraduate education more accessible, or expanding our online, graduate, and executive offerings to meet the growing need. At ½ûÂþÌìÌÃ, what you see is what you get – no hidden fees, no secret handshake, no fine print.
When it comes to providing the best education we possibly can, we’re not afraid to revamp. To reinvent. To rethink. To always put you first.
