Academic Organization
The university comprises three faculties: the Schulich School of Education, the Faculty of Arts & Science and the Faculty of Applied and Professional Studies. Currently there are three full-time graduate programs: the Master of Education, a Master of Arts in History and a Masters of Science in Mathematics. The Schulich School of Education features the iTeach Laptop Learning Program, which was established in 2001. The iTeach Program, which is the first teacher preparation program in North America to utilize a dual Operating System laptop (Mac OS X & Windows), facilitates equipping the pre-service teacher candidates with an expanded skill-set in the area of educational technology. Teacher-candidates explore the process of integrating digital resources & technology into their practice teaching experiences throughout the school year. The end result is a set of graduating teachers ready to enter the 21st Century classroom --- prepared to supplement and enhance their teaching using various forms of educational technology (e.g., SMART Boards, Personal Response Systems, Podcasting, digital presentations using Mac OS X Keynote & Microsoft PowerPoint, iPod Touch units, Wii-Mote Interactive Whiteboard systems, etc.)

Famous quotes containing the words academic and/or organization:
“The 1990s, after the reign of terror of academic vandalism, will be a decade of restoration: restoration of meaning, value, beauty, pleasure, and emotion to art and restoration of art to its audience.”
—Camille Paglia (b. 1947)
“I would wish that the women of our country could embrace ... [the responsibilities] of citizenship as peculiarly their own. If they could apply their higher sense of service and responsibility, their freshness of enthusiasm, their capacity for organization to this problem, it would become, as it should become, an issue of profound patriotism. The whole plane of political life would be lifted.”
—Herbert Hoover (1874–1964)
