HANDS-ON IS HOW.

Our iEX (pronounced “eye-ex”) Center is an interdisciplinary innovation hub focused on harnessing the potential of extended reality technologies and augmented experiences to solve current and future real-world problems with regional partners.

We build confidence through experiential learning. On campus, we’ve invested heavily in active simulation labs and state-of-the-art equipment across specialties guided by professionals. Off campus, we’ve built long-term partnerships with potential employers for real-world experiences that encourage actual problem-solving. And it doesn’t stop there. If you’ve got a dream internship in mind, we’ll help make it possible, anywhere. It’s that important to our educational philosophy. In fact, thanks to this approach, many of our grads become more than just the most qualified job applicants. They’re already valued and experienced employees before graduation.
