- 1. An Intense, Focused Education
Less partying, more studying. Your child will work hard, attending classes from 8 am to 4 pm, Monday through Friday, year-round for 10 quarters. It's hard work, because that's what it's going to be like when they enter the job market.
- 2. Bleeding-Edge Technologies and Methods
They'll learn core competencies in more than 400 key technologies and develop exciting projects and solutions for use in real environments for real clients. But when you ask them what they're doing in school they'll still say, "computer stuff, mom."
- 3. Incredible Exposure
In addition to our expert faculty, and Enterprise and Entrepreneurial Projects, we also regularly invite industry-leading partners to take over the campus to interview and interact with our students. The result? Insanely high placement rates. (See number 5.)
- 4. Professionally Focused Digitally-Oriented Education
It's what your kid thrives on, it's what we love to teach, and it's what employers are looking for. We built our curriculum on what leading employers told us they needed more of - graduates who excel in a team environment and know how to learn on their own.
- 5. Remarkable Results
In 2008, 94 percent of our BSCS graduates were hired in the fields of software development and computer science within three months of graduation. In fact, more than 80% of students accept job offers before they graduate, and many of those have multiple offers.*
- 6. Project-Based Learning
They'll work in project teams while in school, just as they will for their entire career. Sure, lectures on theory are one way to teach, but we find a hands-on approach more effective.
- 7. Birds of a Feather
Your son or daughter will live in a welcoming environment, surrounded by people who share their same passion for technology.
- 8. Rigorous Environment
This isn't some anemic educational institution where grade inflation and football teams take a priority over learning. At Neumont, your child will be pushed. Hard. But it's for a reason: they'll hit the ground running from day one at their first job and have two years' experience before their competition even graduates.
- 9. Campus Location
Think "country feel, city appeal." South Jordan is located 20 minutes away from downtown Salt Lake and 20 minutes away from world-class back country with biking, hiking, camping, snowboarding and skiing. Utah has four complete seasons with arid temperatures in the upper 90's for summer highs, and the 20's for winter lows. No, we aren't exaggerating when we say we have it all.
- 10. Industry Best Practices
By working in project teams to create real project solutions, our students earn a professional education that is focused on Industry Best Practices; they experience the entire lifecycle of a project, and leave with a relevant, applicable education.
