IST gains momentum
In its first year of operation, the school has welcomed 450 students at 14
campuses across the Commonwealth, including University Park. IST, as it is
known, began last fall at University Park with a faculty and administrative
staff contingent of 18 and a statewide force of 48 faculty members and advisers.
Bachelor's and associate degree programs were approved by the University Faculty
Senate and Board of Trustees -- both degrees designed in close collaboration
among educators and representatives from industry and government. Forty-three
new courses are on the books, as well as six certificate programs.
