Our goal is to infuse technology into the educational and operational programs of the institution both to prepare students for a technological society and to serve students, faculty and staff more effectively.
Behind Southern Wesleyan University's old bricks and historic facades is a high speed fiber-optic network connecting all academic buildings and residence halls, providing access to the Internet, Instant Messaging, and e-mail from each residence hall room and faculty office. Computer labs, which are open to students, expand the Southern Wesleyan University community to the world.
Computers are an integral part of academic life at Southern Wesleyan University. Whether designing a room interior, composing music, writing a research paper or simply keeping in touch with faculty and friends - computers enhance life and learning at Southern Wesleyan University.
