NEUMONT'S COMPUTER SCIENCE FACULTY
Unlike faculty who teach at traditional universities, our instructors are experienced software developers. That’s why they don’t do much lecturing —because that’s not how it’s done in the real world. Instead, they manage their classrooms as team leaders, coaching and guiding your learning experience.
BS COMPUTER SCIENCE PROJECTS AND ROLES
We believe the key to a useful and applicable hands-on Computer Science degree is a team-based, experience with real software development projects working on a variety of project roles like:
- Technical Lead
- Software Developer
- Quality Assurance
By your final quarters, you'll spend up to eight hours per day working in teams on pertinent, real-world projects in computer science courses like:
