Saint Peter’s University advances with new high-tech facilities and innovative programs

State-of-the-art facilities and cutting-edge programs are becoming increasingly important to today’s undergraduate and graduate students. Saint Peter’s has responded to this demand with updates to the physical campus and academic programs.
The School of Business and the School of Education recently underwent a nearly $4 million transformation to create an ultramodern learning environment. The centerpiece of the School of Business is the Business Laboratory. The laboratory includes a simulated financial floor, equipped with Bloomberg terminals, a LED ticker, video conferencing and other capabilities that deliver business intelligence to students. The undergraduate business program and master’s program offer degrees in many concentrations including, international business, marketing and more.
The School of Education provides students with a high-tech space to attend classes, meet with faculty advisors and collaborate on coursework and projects. In addition to bachelor’s degrees in education, the School of Education offers master’s programs in educational leadership, reading, teaching, school counseling and special education. Students are also able to complete doctoral degrees in educational leadership for higher education or K-12. The School of Education also offers certification and alternate route programs.
Beyond the facilities, the latest additions to academics include a master’s program in data science with a concentration in business analytics. The master’s in data science integrates computer science, statistics and data-based business management principles to inform data driven decision making. The program is aligned with the “best of industry applied practice” in big data solutions. The curriculum reflects the most current approaches to the management of data science technology as developed by leaders in the industry such as the Oracle Corporation. Oracle is the world’s leading database company and is currently recognized as a market leader on big data solutions.
