YEAR ROUND COURSES

At Neumont University you'll attend classes on a quarter system year-round, which allows you to take a greater number of courses per year and more closely mimic a full time work schedule. By attending school at this pace you can earn a Bachelor’s degree in less than three years.

The Class Schedule

Attend classes five days a week
Your courses will run up to eight hours a day
Quarters are 10 weeks long, with a two to three week break between each quarter
In most courses class time includes a mixture of lecture, discussion, and hands-on work

SPRINT SYSTEM

Each quarter is divided into two, five-week blocks (Sprints).
During each Sprint, you'll take two to four classes.
Sprint schedules reduce the distraction of competing classes and homework assignments
Sprints allow you to focus on mastering one competency at a time and building a solid foundation of essential technical knowledge
