School Notes
Founded in 1914, Dunwoody College of Technology is the only
private, nonprofit technical college in the Upper Midwest. Dunwoody
College teaches problem solving and critical thinking along with
practical, real-world skills that are much sought after by business
and industry. It`s a rigorous style of hands-on, applied learning
that requires discipline and personal responsibility. The emphasis
is on understanding the basic theory and skills in lecture courses
and then getting practice applying those skills in hands-on lab
work with labs and shops that use equipment and processes that
mirror what is found in industry. The College also fosters such
values as work ethic, teamwork and punctuality. It prepares
graduates to enter the diverse, performance-oriented, and modern
workplace by requiring students to take Arts & Sciences courses in
addition to technical curriculum. This applied approach to learning
has been part of Dunwoody since its` founding in 1914 and was
championed by the College`s first director Charles Prosser, who is
known as the father of vocational education in the United
States.
Class sizes at Dunwoody are small so that instructors have time
to get to know their students and provide individual attention. The

opportunities for students to be personally involved in their
school and encourages them to get to know their classmates.
Dunwoody`s close relationship with local industry professionals
means that students have direct interaction with standard industry
practices as well as innovations in the field through field trips,
internships and guest speakers. Shops, studios and laboratories are
furnished with tools, software and other equipment typical of the
industries that employ Dunwoody graduates.
From business and healthcare to technology and skilled trades, the article showcases the breadth of options available to students seeking to enhance their knowledge, develop new skills, or pursue career advancement.
