| For the second
straight year, Duquesne is one of 25 colleges
and universities across the country named to The
Princeton Review’s “Most Connected
Campuses" list.
The list, which has been compiled for three years,
is a result of a Princeton Review survey to find
the U.S. colleges and universities offering the
most cutting-edge technology. Criteria include
the breadth of the computer science curriculum;
the sophistication of campus technology, including
streaming media of classes and extracurricular
offerings; availability of school-owned digital
cameras and equipment for student use; wireless
Internet access on campus; and support for handheld
computing.
“We’re honored to be included among
some of the most respected institutions in the
country for our commitment to campus technology,”
said Dr. Charles Dougherty, Duquesne University
president.
To assemble the list, The Princeton Review collected
responses to a survey on campus technology from
colleges in its best-selling college guidebook,
The Best 361 Colleges.
“The schools on our list have demonstrated
leadership in preparing and supporting students
for life in the digital age. Students who understand
the value of technology to both their career prospects
and overall quality of life will want to pay special
attention the schools on our list,” said
Rob Franek, vice president and publisher of The
Princeton Review.
