Hands-on Learning, College of Applied Science and Technology

Hands-on Learning

In the College of Applied Sciences and Technology, we practice what we teach, and our students apply the knowledge they learn. Most of our degree programs include a hands-on component like a clinical or practicum as part of the curriculum, allowing students to apply and expand on the skills they've learned in the classroom. Many programs also include a required internship, which gives students professional experience in their chosen field of study.

Allegre Restaurant - In the student-managed Allegre restaurant, hospitality and food management students plan menus, prepare food, and serve gourmet meals. The restaurant is popular with both students and faculty.

Allegre Kitchen - Hospitality and food management students prepare meals in this state-of-the-art kitchen.

Athletic Training Education Lab - Unlike many universities where athletes and students share facilities, the athletic training education lab is used exclusively for teaching athletic training and exercise science majors.

Nursing Lab - Our nursing labs simulate a real-world health care environment. Nursing students use the latest medical equipment and technologies to learn health concepts and skills.
