Neumont University's Bachelor of Science in Computer Science (BSCS) program distinguishes itself with an immersive, integrated program that focuses on demonstration of concept mastery through a problem and project focused learning experience.
Program Overview
- Projects and coursework are designed to provide a solid foundation of technical competencies and industry best practices.
- Plan on attending classes and working on projects from 8:00 am – 5:00 pm, Monday through Friday -- just like you'll do in the corporate world.
- As much as 60% of your class work will happen while working in groups as part of project labs.
- By working at this pace you can complete the program, and earn your Bachelor's degree in 10 quarters (that's just under three years).
Innovation-Focused Learning, the Neumont Approach
Your education at Neumont is largely divided into the three types of projects you'll work on while here:
- Foundational Projects – Master the basic intricacies of programming languages.
- Internal Projects – Apply your knowledge on projects Neumont will use internally.
- Enterprise Projects – Where the fun really begins. You'll be developing software solutions for industry partners such as IBM, eBay and Microsoft.
BSCS Program Objectives
Neumont's program was designed to provide a professional education that is rich in ideas, current in industry practices, and deep in technological insight from the input of industry-leading partners. We do this by mentoring students through the following competencies:
