Overview

Neumont College of Computer Science is different by design. To better prepare our graduates for a career in the field of computer science, our six degree programs combine the best elements from traditional colleges (theory), technical schools (skills), and project-based learning (experience). This unique combination provides an unparalleled educational experience.

At Neumont, we’re all about hands-on learning through project-based courses where students and faculty collaborate with companies like Nike, IBM, and Bosch to create solutions to their software needs. If you’re going to succeed in the tech industry, you have to learn how to learn and that’s what a project-based curriculum teaches best. When you graduate, you'll have the experience and confidence needed to help launch your career in technology.

Additional Costs
Room and Board The weighted average for room and board and other expenses is generated as follows:
  • (amount for on-campus room, board and other expenses * # of students living on-campus.
  • + amount for off-campus (with family) room, board and other expenses * # of students living off-campus with family
  • + amount for off-campus (not with family) room, board and other expenses * # of students living off-campus not with family)
divided by the total # of students. Students whose living arrangements are unknown are excluded from the calculation. For some institutions the # of students by living arrangement will be known, but dollar amounts will not be known. In this case the # of students with no corresponding dollar amount will be excluded from the denominator.

Every day is a learning experience here at Neumont. Coming here with no experience with any of the things they were doing here was a little daunting. I met people with a lot of experience, and others with no experience at all, just like me. Another friend of mine wrote his own antivirus program before even coming here! But the early months of Neumont got me sped up, and keep me sped up on all the new information that is now bursting at the seams from in my brain! The learning experience here is fantastic and if I could rate the school and the staff here, I would give 6 stars!
Brett from Roswell, NM
I came to Neumont with very little prior knowledge of programming, but since coming here I've made dozens of programs using Visual Studio or Eclipse fro ma range of an RPG game to calulators and piant applications.
Deric from South Jordan, UT
Neumont is a great school if you want to get your foot in the door of the Computer Industry, the last year is spent working for actual companies and many students receive job offers from those companies if they preform well. The job placement rate is close to 100% if you graduate with average starting salary around 50k. They teach you in a way that will help you go straight into the industry without a lot of re-training by the company you end up working for.
Rachel from Colorado Springs, CO
With IBM on their side as well as eBay and many other large corporations they will train you with the best knowledge. They have a lot of good teachers and generally they want you to get out in to the work force
Alexander from Roseburg, OR
it is a geek central, geek style, and geek community school. located in the center of everything. you never have to go far from school for anything and everyone more or less understands you.
samantha from mckinney, tx
I came to Neumont with no previous experience, with the 3 short quarters I've been here, I now know practically everything there is to know about Java, HTML and CSS. The teachers are great and really take an interest on whether or not you're learning the material you're supposed to know
Dakotah from South Jordan, UT
Time management is crucial, video games have to be set aside to get work done, and don't be afraid to ask for help. You have a wide range of options to get help. Help can come from a tutor, your instructor (or any instructor that understands the the coding language in general), or any student/friend. Keep this in mind that this won't be like high school anymore, this where you will be treated like an adult and are expected to act/ live like one. One more thing, get use to working in groups, you will sometimes need to work in groups to do well. You won't always work with the same people, get use to working in different groups.
James from Phoenix, AZ
Neumont focuses it's attention on Software development and those who interact with Software developers. It has a fast paced project oriented program that is designed to not just give you the theoretical knowledge that you would get from most schools but practical experience as well. The rigorous program Neumont offers ensures the work quality of the professionals that they put out.
Bronze from South Jordan, UT
The size of the University is to the point where Faculty and your fellow students are nearly always on hand to talk on a one-on-one basis on any subject, academic or otherwise. The instruction environment focuses on you, the student, taking charge of your own education and learning not just the material, but how to continue to learn in a fast-paced, rapidly improving industry. At Neumont, one simply does not earn a degree, but rather begins to build a career.
Alex from Las Vegas, NV
Neumont has a well-defined community. Has the goal of getting you a job after graduation. And has some of the best teachers in the state.
