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 place our students in pre-professional internships.
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.

Chemistry
Usually you find X-ray diffraction labs in corporate settings and large research universities. But our university is one of very few predominantly undergraduate institutions in the country to have a state-of-the art X-ray facility of its own. Where else can you get this level of hands-on learning as an undergraduate student?
