College of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics

College of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics

The One. The Only.

We're Ohio's first and only college dedicated to STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics). Our faculty are academic experts. But they're also working professionals, involving students in their daily research. You don't have to go to Silicon Valley to see the latest advances in modern electronics; that happens in our backyard.

Opportunity doesn't knock, because it's already at our students' doorstep. Take our STEM Professional Services, for example. Its sole purpose is to prepare our students for professional internships. Or Workforce Education and Innovation, who are preparing the current and future workforce with industry skills.  

With this level of professional support, it's not hard to see why we're Ohio's "first and only" STEM college. It's because we're some of Ohio's best.
