=== META+Lab: ===
'''META+Lab (Matador Emerging Technology and Arts) '''<span style="font-size:small;">recently established on campus witha focus on web and mobile application development. <span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.5px; line-height: 20px;">META Lab is an extension of the academic program that functions as a collaborative startup. Our approach, led by individuals with expertises and those who wish to learn (faculty, staff and students), pushes the tech/entrepreneurial envelope in terms of visual interface design, user experience and application development.</span> </span></span>

=== VISCOM: ===
'''VISCOM (Visual Communcation)'''<span style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.4px;"> </span><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 16.8px;">is an academic program in which students receive credit for work performed, as well as a combination of credits and financial compensation. VISCOM provides graphic-related services to select on-campus clients and outside entities, utilizing “real-world” projects to support student education, research and career preparation. VISCOM provides a unique opportunity to enhance the student experience with a “learn-by-doing” educational philosophy. We believe this model not only provides added value to student learning, but also provide critical mentorship by senior students, which encourages younger students to stay on track, succeed and graduate on time. Students involved with VISCOM have successfully transitioned into their respective professional endeavors, and their success stories can be found in the Alumni section.</span></span></span>
