Expanding Academic Opportunities

Cairn University desires to continue moving forward by developing new academic programs for an ever-changing professional climate. To address these needs, the University has focused on the high-demand fields of science and technology.

Four programs were launched in Fall 2017: computer science, information systems, graphic design and mathematics. To support the new programs, the University added a new computer lab, complete with a VDI processing system; created a state-of-the-art computer lab to support graphic design students; and hired new faculty who specialize in teaching these areas of study.

In Fall 2018, the University launched four science programs; biology (BA), biology (BS), pre-med, and pre-physical therapy. Two science labs were renovated and constructed to provide our enrolled biology students with hands-on experience required for professional competency. The University is also actively exploring partnerships with medical schools and hospitals to best prepare our pre-med and pre-physical therapy students.

To fully support the future and growth of our science and technology programs, we need to raise an additional $555,000. These funds will allow Cairn to hire new faculty members and purchase necessary equipment and materials in order to provide the best possible resources for our students.
