Academics and Student Life
Applications to ECWA Bingham University are either through JAMB (Joint Admission Matriculation Board) or through the school directly.
Among prominent visiting lecturers to the school recently is Dr. Francis Ohanyido the Nigerian Public Health physician and eHealth expert.
The university has gone through a speedy development transformation. Expansion of programmes can been seen in the light of the diploma in Computer Science kick-off at a strategic location at Mararaba, Nasarawa State. The university has capacity for 1,200 students with approximately over 250 staff.
The school activities are flexible; every member of staff and students attends church services often (Mondays, Wednesdays, etc.) as prescribed by the chaplain.
The students are corporately dressed and must collect permission before leaving the school. This is a measure to control the safety of student, reducing students exposure to the hedonist society. The school is 26 km from the Nigeria's Federal Capital Territory (FCT). The fast development of Abuja has assisted the area to be fully developed and has made access to the city "stress-free."
The staff of the institution work tirelessly to develop the developing institution. Great sacrifices are made to make the school competitive in the Nigerian higher education sector.
Dr. Peter M. Ogedebe, who is the ICT chairman, has worked to improve the system in a short while — transforming the Computer Science department to be the best in Nigeria. One of the labs in the department is equipped with videoconferencing equipment powered over a 63" plasma screen, another with two 50" plasma screens, and over 80 N-computing PCs. The department can lend over 30 laptop to students. The Internet facility in the school is adequate, except for disruption from nature (lightning).

Famous quotes containing the words academics, student and/or life:
“Our first line of defense in raising children with values is modeling good behavior ourselves. This is critical. How will our kids learn tolerance for others if our hearts are filled with hate? Learn compassion if we are indifferent? Perceive academics as important if soccer practice is a higher priority than homework?”
—Fred G. Gosman (20th century)
“They tend to be suspicious, bristly, paranoid-type people with huge egos they push around like some elephantiasis victim with his distended testicles in a wheelbarrow terrified no doubt that some skulking ingrate of a clone student will sneak into his very brain and steal his genius work.”
—William Burroughs (b. 1914)
“Your Christians, whom one persecutes in vain, have something in them that surpasses the human. They lead a life of such innocence, that the heavens owe them some recognition: that they arise the stronger the more they are beaten down is hardly the result of common virtues.”
—Pierre Corneille (1606–1684)
