| School mission and unique qualities (as provided by the school): | |
|
UAT is a small, private college for techno-geeks. Our mission is to educate students in the fields of advancing technology to become innovators of the future. UAT is a traditional academy, but because we are also a technology college, we offer a fully technology-infused, urban campus environment, and we offer academic programs in advancing technology fields such as Artificial Life Programming, Game Development, Network Security, and Robotics and Embedded Systems. The combined elements of the traditional academy and the technology university result in a geek-friendly university that is an ideal environment for a particular type of student who values inclusiveness and who seeks out resources and facilities that enable them to learn in the forward-thinking, techno-centric manner they are accustomed to in a place that magnifies their learning strengths. |
