Technology Adds Efficiency and Enhances Collaboration

Incoming students receive a 2-in-1 tablet computer that provides easy access to all reference materials needed for the program, including case studies, program schedules, class directories, and textbooks. The portability and convenience of having these class materials in one place contributes to efficient time management.

Communication with team members, classmates, and faculty is streamlined with online collaboration tools in real time. In addition, access to the Internet allows connections for both personal and professional use, and ownership of the computer remains with the student. Training is available to explore the capabilities of the 2-in-1 tablet computer.
