Key Strengths
ACU is a great place to pursue your education in a high-tech, computer-related field. In ACU's School of Information Technology and Computing you’ll find:
-
A strong, well-trained faculty - we have one of the strongest combined faculties in computing, information technology, and information systems among faith-based, comprehensive masters level universities in the country. All full-time faculty members have doctoral degrees, having received their training at some of the best schools around.
-
Instructors who are experienced professors - all of our courses are taught, not by graduate students, but by professors—men and women who are active in their professions, engaged in research, and well-connected to business and industry.
-
Small classes - our classes are small in comparison to those at public universities. Each of your instructors will know you by name rather than as a number on a class roll sheet.
-
Individual attention and mentorship - you'll get all the help you need on an individual basis. Your professors will not only be your teachers, but they will become your mentors and friends for life. They will be able to personally recommend you and connect you to top professionals in the technology industry. Many students work side-by-side with professors on research projects, assist them as teaching assistants, or join them for meals in their homes.
-
Focus on teaching - our primary goal is to educate students and prepare them for the challenges of life and a high-tech career. We constantly strive for excellence in the classroom and for ways to engage students in the learning process.
-
Opportunities for career development - all our students are encouraged to participate in career-oriented activities outside the formal classroom setting. We offer many opportunities for involvement, including internships, part-time employment, student clubs and organizations, and access to industry professionals.
-
Commitment to the integration of faith and learning - in SITC, you'll find every aspect of your educational experience informed by faith. We are committed to strengthening mind, body, and soul in ways that will serve you while you are in school and long after you graduate.
