One of the primary metrics for the institution includes work or related work placement of
its graduates; therefore, the college places great value in fully preparing graduates. There are
several facets to preparing graduates for employment that include: (1) knowledge and skills, (2)
dispositions or soft skills, and (3) professionalism including dress. In order to support the
students’ readiness for employment in their chosen career paths, faculty support a conservative
environment where students’ soft skills, professionalism, and dress are monitored, mentored, and
modeled. For example, the faculty, administrators, and support staff all wear business attire and
depending on the selected programs, students are expected to dress and demonstrate behavior
that aligns with the norms of their selected career field.
