We build strong programs through applied learning and maintaining an open and fluid conversation with our community and industry partners. The broader conversation is achieved through our Program Advisory Committees which are composed of employers, community members, college staff and alumni. Leaders in the field advise the faculty about current issues and trends to keep the curriculum strong and relevant.
