Top Reasons Students Join Our Department:

  • 90% or higher job attainmnet within 6 months of graduation for all three undergraduate majors.
  • Our programs incorporate hands-on lab sections with traditional style lectures, enabling students to learn how theory is practically applied to real-life scenarios. Classes are small and labs are even smaller, allowing for individualized learning and attention.
  • Graduates from all of our undergraduate majors have a average starting salary range from $52,000 - $66,000.
  • FABE is like a family. Our faculty and instructors know their students' names; our students spend a great deal of time together in our computer lab; and we have multiple departmental clubs and organizations for students to stay involved. Meet some of our students and read their inspiring stories. 
  • Over $100,000 in scholarships from our department to incoming and current students, not including additional scholarship opportunities offered through CFAES and COE. Learn more about the financial aid we offer.
