<p>Hello,</p>
<p>I just receive a call from Neumont University that claims to have the best CS program in the nation, better than that of MIT, and that they have a 2-year bachelor degree program that major companies such as Microsoft and IBM hire people from. This sounds like a scam to me, can anyone give me more information / feedback on them? Thanks.</p>
<p>Anyone...?</p>
<p>I dunno, but they sent my DD a T-shirt last week. They're in Utah, so she's not going. Way too far.</p>
<p>Also--"better than MIT"? Riiiiiiiggghhhht.</p>
<p>How does one do a 2 year BS program - full time year round?? That would be approximately 65 credits per year??? uuummmmm. An AS degree is 2 years - This schools sounds fishy to me - they are fishing for students............. I would be very leary of this school and their approach to things.</p>
<p>It seems to be a very very exclusive type of program - with absolutely NO wiggle room - if one decided to change major/direction. I would certainly make sure that their credits are transferrable - just in case.</p>
<p>sounds fake.</p>

<p>Yeah, that's what I thought. Just want to make sure I have the right information about things. :)</p>
<p>That program is a VERY focused program - not fake but - not what the usual student would be pursuing. As I said - it leaves very little wiggle room - based on 8 ''quarters'' - based on 4 quarter academics - 3 per year - I would feel very uncomfortable considering a program like that - especailly if ANY doubts are considered.</p>
<p>A Neumont rep came to my school. I don't know, there is just something about Neumont that makes me hate it. Quite a few kids were blown away and are now totally into this 2-year program, where afterwards they can look forward to making $70,000 a year (the average for a Neumont graduate)! ungh </p>
<p>I'm actually really curious about this program so I can advise some of my friends.</p>
<p>Really, a college that claims to be CS-oriented cannot have such an abomination of a website. And plus, they have no data for ACT/SAT or % admitted listed on collegeboard.com, which really makes me wonder whether they are not trying to be secretive about the level of their average student.</p>
