Neumont University, founded in 2002, was designed to address the industry need for technically skilled and professionally developed employees. As technology rapidly becomes more sophisticated, well-prepared and qualified individuals become increasingly difficult to find. This problem is worsened by the fact that many computer science graduates lack the skills employers need. Neumont was designed to address that problem -- and meet the industry's needs.
At most universities a student spends two painfully long years fulfilling general education requirements before they can focus on their specific major. While we recognize that tomorrow's innovators must be well-rounded, we also strive to offer classes that allow students to develop the skills on the employers top five list, things like:
- Communications Skills
- Ability to work in a group
- And, proven ability to develop software in a team environment
- Strong technical proficiencies
We believe that 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 developing professionals competent in business, communication, and technology.
From day one students learn through problem and project-based learning to help them learn to think critically and effectively solve real-world problems. Our students move efficiently through our program and learn by designing, building, testing, and challenging assumptions in a hypothetical, digital, and literal world – while creating some pretty exciting projects. Neumont's Employer Relations Department works with industry leaders from companies like IBM and Microsoft to ensure we always have a steady stream of exciting, and challenging projects available for our students these partners also help us 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 Computer Science education available.
