Since 1856, Niagara University has been recognized for providing an academic setting that nourishes the mind, body, heart and soul. Founded in the Catholic and Vincentian tradition, the university`s holistic, one-on-one approach to education makes a difference in the lives of its students, and they go on to make a difference in the lives of others. Whether it`s preparing income taxes for the elderly, tutoring inner city elementary school students or conducting breast cancer research with professors, Niagara students strive to assist those less fortunate. Those types of real-world learning opportunities help Niagara alumni translate their “small-school” education into top jobs within their chosen career fields, working for companies from Beijing to Broadway. In fact, according to a recent survey, 96 percent of NU graduates reported being employed or enrolled in graduate school within one year of graduation. Niagara`s reputation for academic excellence is annually praised in several prominent national publications. Just this year, U.S. News & World Report, The Princeton Review and Colleges of Distinction ranked NU among the top schools in the Northeast.
Texas A&M University has a proud history that stretches back to 1876 when The Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas became the first public institution of higher learning in the state of Texas. Nestled in the heart of the Houston-Dallas-Austin triangle, Texas A&M University at College Station is the state`s largest university, with nearly 65,000 students calling Aggieland home, and another 5,200 Aggies are studying at branch campuses in Galveston, Texas, and Doha, Qatar. Texas A&M`s designation as a land-, sea-, and space-grant institution reflects the superior quality and diverse range of research and innovation occurring on campus daily. Texas A&M boasts a strong military tradition, having contributed men and women in uniform to every armed conflict since the Spanish-American War. More Aggies commission as officers into the U.S. Armed Forces than any other school outside of the U.S. military academies every year. Student-athletes represent Texas A&M across 18 sports within the Southeastern Conference. Additionally, the George H.W. Bush Presidential Library and Museum is located on Texas A&M`s campus, as is the President and First Lady`s final resting places. Quick to offer a cheery "Howdy!" to any visitor, Aggies pride themselves on their hospitality and strive to live out the University`s core values of respect, excellence, leadership, loyalty, integrity, and selfless service.
