Founded in 1908, the university has seen a resurgence in the last decade as moving away from being a commuter campus servicing the needs of individuals in the city to that of an institution having areas of housing and other amenities on-campus drawing students in from across the country. Of particular mention are programs of political science and education, along with graduate programs in business.
