Neumont History
Neumont was founded in 2003 by Graham Doxey, Marlow Einlund, and Scott McKinley to pioneer a more effective way of educating and preparing students for technology related careers. In 2004, the school began offering a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science (BSCS) degree. That same year, Neumont outgrew its original space and moved to a campus in South Jordan, Utah.
By 2007, Neumont was also offering master’s degrees in computer science and business administration. Edward H. Levine was named President of Neumont in the summer of 2007. In 2010, the final students graduated from the master’s degree programs as Neumont shifted its focus to its bachelor’s degree programs.
The Bachelor of Science in Business Technology Management (BSTM) degree program was added to Neumont’s offerings in 2010. The following year, the Bachelor of Science in Software and Game Development (BSGD) and the Bachelor of Science in Web Design and Development (BSWD) degree programs followed suit. The Bachelor of Science in Computer Information Systems (BSIS) accepted its first cohort of students in 2013.
In the summer of 2013, the institution moved to its current location in downtown Salt Lake City, Utah. Two years later, Shaun E. McAlmont was named president. He served until December 2017 when Aaron Reed, Ed.D., became the third president of the school.
In July of 2017, Neumont officially changed its name from Neumont University to Neumont College of Computer Science. This change reinforces the school’s commitment to provide high intensity, tech-focused instruction to educate the innovators of tomorrow through a hands-on, project-based curriculum developed in partnership with industry leaders.
