Some schools brag about the Nobel Prize winners on their faculty.
All good science and engineering is based on discovering essential truths and finding ways to put them to work in the real world. So let's begin with one truth: At Wilkes, you will be given access to professors, equipment, and resources you need to advance your education. Just ask. Our best teacher? Experience. That's how it works at Wilkes.
You'll get a hands-on education, with unique research and internship opportunities that you just won't find elsewhere. It starts with our esteemed faculty who are committed to giving you the best education possible by using their research to enhance your learning opportunities. They want students to succeed above all else so they actually publish papers and conduct research with them. At Wilkes, you come first. You'll attend stimulating lectures in the classroom.
But thanks to our intimate atmosphere, you'll also get unique access to your professors and more time in labs. The fact that we're small doesn't mean we don't have some of the most advanced equipment available. In fact, Wilkes is known for its state-of-the-art facilities, which include, a Bioinformatics Center, a Research Greenhouse, a Genomics Center, the Center for Geographic Information Sciences, the Environmental Quality Center, the Institute for the Environment, and the Ratchford Field Station, a 150-acre outdoor natural research facility. Your education won't be pigeonholed into a single subject.
We're proud of the fact that our students receive an extremely well-rounded education. Remember, you're not coming here for a career, you're coming for an education. (Which is vital, since the average person changes careers three times during his or her life.)Instead of spending four years focusing on a single subject, we'll teach you how to use your mind to think, solve problems, and communicate -- skills you can put to use in the real world no matter what career you choose. With that goal in mind, we also give you the flexibility to explore other programs in our other colleges -- which is exactly what you should be doing at a university. Finally, you'll be encouraged to participate in any of our extracurricular and co-curricular activities, from building your own off-road vehicle to participating in a dance club. Your options are limitless.
