Program Highlights & Locations

Following Sullivan’s tradition, we engage students in real-world, hands-on learning. These courses are taught by professionals that come from the industry. We do not only discuss creating web pages. Instead, students are instructed to create web pages and they are posted to a live server for the world to see. We create real-world applications that can be used in a modern business setting. We build networks using current Cisco equipment.

Our IT Academy department chair said it best. He created an analogy of an individual who wanted to make it in Hollywood. If the person can act, he has a slight possibility of making it. If the person only dances, his odds are about the same. If that person sings incredibly, the odds do not change that much. However, if you put those three talents together (acting, dancing, and singing), that person is called a triple threat – they can do it all. In our field, the triple threat is that person who has a degree, certifications, and experience. We offer all of these through the Bachelor of Science in Information Technology degree.

Diversity like this enables students to not only learn and grow with each other, but also from each other’s experiences. We cannot use just one word to describe our student body, but, we can say that our students are part of what makes Sullivan what it is, along with our faculty and staff. Our founder, A.R. Sullivan, said the following, “The reputation of a school is measured by the excellence of its graduates. That is why we dedicate ourselves to the success of our students.”
