Neumont College of Computer Science Launched Hybrid Online Programs

SALT LAKE CITY, July 25, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Neumont College of Computer Science announced the launch of its new hybrid online programs today. The college now offers a Certificate in Web Development and an Associate of Science in Software Development in a predominantly online format. Students enrolled in these part-time programs will take courses online and meet on-campus once a week for mentorship and guidance as they develop projects.

"We looked at current online offerings and noted that many of these programs struggle to create a community for the students," said Neumont President Aaron Reed, Ed.D. "So we thought about how we could recreate the encouraging and supportive atmosphere we have on our campus online and concluded the best solution was to initially provide programs that are mostly online and ensure students are getting to know their professors face-to-face."

The Certificate in Web Development is offered on a part-time, nine-month program plan and is intended for students who want to keep working while going to school. Online class and study time should take around 20 hours a week and can be done at any hour of the day or night.   

"One of the goals we set for this program," said Jason Hammon, manager of instructional design at Neumont, "was to recreate the Neumont hands-on, project-based curriculum that a student could take while working full-time. We hope this makes it easier for non-traditional students to transition to a career in technology."

The program is expected to help non-traditional students and students without previous college education learn some of the skills they need to start a career in the software industry from an accredited intuition. Neumont is an accredited member with the Accrediting Commission of Career Schools and Colleges.

The programs are now accepting applications. Classes start on Monday, October 1. To learn more, go to www.neumont.edu/online.

Neumont College of Computer Science improves lives through education. With a focus on project-based learning, students are immersed in a tech environment from day one to learn the skills and knowledge that will help launch their careers.
