Commitment to Technology

Walsh College continues to invest in the technological future, both inside and outside of the traditional classroom. All rooms at the Troy campus are equipped with LCD projectors or televisions that are used during presentations by instructors, facilitators, and students. Classrooms are also equipped with SMART Podiums™, touch-screen interactive monitors that allow instructors to interact with digital content and write over it on the SMART monitors. In addition, each classroom contains web cameras with microphones which enable online remote distance education capabilities. Classrooms also contain the ability for wireless presentation from any mobile device within the classroom.

The Troy campus is also furnished with a technology enhanced Finance Lab. The Finance Lab gives students a taste of Wall Street with 12 Bloomberg terminals, FACTSET research capabilities, along with several large LCD televisions tuned to market and financial reports, and breakout rooms. Financial information continuously updates on an LED ticker, giving students a real-time glimpse into market movement and news.

A dedicated Cyber Lab is also located at the Troy location. The Cyber Lab provides a hands-on learning environment with access to Dell servers and Dell EMC storage infrastructure. Students can expect to receive critical cybersecurity skills across traditional, cyber physical, and/or automotive environments. In addition, students will apply critical, strategic, ethical, and innovative thinking to achieve business-like results. A VMWare Virtual Lab also provides students with practical real-world experience setting up and supporting a business-like domain complete with servers and PCs.

Walsh College is designated as a Center of Academic Excellence in Cyber Defense (CAE/CD), which identifies Walsh College as one of a small set of academic institutions in the country to achieve this status. Walsh College also aligns its programs with the Department of Defense 8570 and the Department of Homeland Security NICE Framework. This ensures that our students will be prepared to meet the standards of employment at the federal level.

Electronic library research tools maintained on the Walsh College website include a multitude of database sources, online magazines and journal subscriptions. These tools allow students to access information online from anywhere, at any time.

Secured information is stored behind firewalled and password-protected systems; most applications utilize only one username and password and automatically pass through from one system to another without further intervention. Public and guest wireless Internet access is available throughout the campus. The wireless network utilizes updated modern wireless technology standards which provides for a seamless end-user experience.

All classroom and lab computers require users to log in with their unique Academic/Portal username and password. Public guests can generate a temporary ID by using a driver’s license in order to gain access to the library computer resources at Walsh.
