Centers and Institutes
Our academic institutes are busy centers of study where theory meets practice. Students work closely with faculty to explore the questions and issues facing the region, nation and the world. The three academic institutes housed within the University are recognized for their relevant work, which is frequently published and broadcast. Our institutes attract renowned speakers, attention from the press and community, and interest from students who want to use their knowledge to explore pressing issues, make a difference and gain valuable experience.
