In the Classroom

ODU classrooms are packed with 21st century technology, bringing your education to life. Connect to the world and your professor in an instant... classes with a personal response system allow you to electronically reply to professors' questions and see what your fellow classmates say.

The modern classroom doesn't always have desks and chairs. In the CAVE virtual environment, operating room holograms and stethoscopes that simulate real vital signs create lifelike surgeries that help medical students become better care givers.

Your Professors

Our award winning professors bring their real-world expertise to your classroom, bringing the classroom to life. They are recognized by peers, organizations, businesses and industries across the country. But they are inspired by getting to know students; they want to join in discovering how you will make your mark.
