Respect is the alliance that bonds students and faculty. Our instructors, having worked in their industry, demonstrate a passion for their trade. It’s reflected in the students as they take pride in their work and become a part of something greater than themselves. This culture doesn’t happen by accident.
We pride ourselves on a student-to-faculty ratio of 18:1.

🌸 Network Security Students Dig In for Community Garden Revitalization!
Last week, our amazing Network Security students from the Sapulpa campus traded their keyboards for gardening tools to help The First Church of God rebuild its beautiful flower gardens.
This hands-on project was more than just a break from the classroom—it was a chance to give back to the community, foster teamwork, and spread some joy! Their hard work not only transformed the church grounds but also showcased their dedication to service and collaboration beyond the world of technology.
Way to go, team! 👏
