Technology Oriented Curriculum
We’re all about technology and its practical application. We won’t waste you’re your time (or ours) with information that won’t benefit you when you graduate. We think the process of building technologies is like an art. In fact, the word technology is rooted in the Greek word techne, meaning art or skill. See? That’s a great example of the useless information you won’t be learning here.

Well Rounded
Tomorrow's technology Renaissance men and women must know how to write effectively in a business setting, communicate professionally, and act with a strong ethical code. So we’ve focused our curriculum on helping students develop competencies in business, communications, and ethics-based problem-solving, in addition to the application and development of cutting-edge technologies.
Project Based
From day one, students hone their knowledge through project-based exercises partnered with a core foundation of applicable technical and general education courses to help them learn to think critically and effectively solve real-world problems. Our students move efficiently through our 10-quarter programs and learn by designing, building, testing, and challenging assumptions in a hypothetical, digital, and literal world – and create some pretty exciting projects too.
Relevant Content
The companies who hire our graduates recognize that writing clean code, running an efficient project, or keeping a company's information systems running at the speed of user demand is great. But, a true professional must also know how to present, theorize, budget, track their time, and report on daily accomplishments -- these are the skills not typically taught in the classroom. Which is why Neumont’s University Relations Department works with industry leaders from companies like IBM, Nike, and Microsoft to identify the gaps between what industry needs and what universities are teaching. Then we adjust our curriculum in order to bridge that gap - and provide the most relevant technology-focused education available.
Like we said, it’s a real-world, applicable, get-you-a-job-when-you-graduate education that doesn’t lose focus because of frat parties and football games. Sure, we’ve got our own form of socializing (usually separated by LCDs and fiber optics) and there’s time to do your own thing, but make no mistake: our programs are intensely focused on providing the most comprehensive and applicable education possible.
