MSU pushing envelope in business app education

Mississippi State University and the CREATE Foundation is making available an MSU web application-development course – with a business-oriented entrepreneurship context - between high school district students in Lee, Pontotoc and Union counties in an effort to enhance the state’s educational system. The program is part of a $50M endowment from Toyota. MSU is the second university in the world (Stanford was first) to offer such courses that can be adapted for iPhones and android phones. Four students already selected for the inaugural class have advanced technological skills. MSU has a growing reputation in economic research. Source: Northeast Mississippi editorial, May 12, 2013.
