College of Professional Schools

Dean: Aron Temkin, AIA

The College of Professional Schools covers a unique breadth of fields including accounting, management, construction, computing, information assurance, nursing, engineering, and architecture. These programs are conducted by faculty in the School of Business and Management, the School of Nursing, the David Crawford School of Engineering and the School of Architecture and Art.

Across these disciplines students and faculty are engaged in teaching/learning processes that combine stron conceptual foundations with hands-on practice. Our engaged spirit of service combines with a willingness to collaborate that is necessary for tackling real-world challenges. When this is combined with the leadership focus of the university, we position our students to engage the problems of our era and build the industries, systems, processes, machines and structures that are required of the next century.

Mission
