A Better Way to Build Curriculum

Each of our campus and online degree programs has a set schedule of courses that each student takes in the same order. First, there are foundational courses, then you refine your skills based on your career goals.

Your program's predetermined course order also means there's no registration stress or worry about course availability.

Learn it, Do It: Programs Built Around Project-Based Learning

Undergraduate programs are designed with a series of Project and Portfolio classes, which keeps students creating throughout their program. As you move through the curriculum, you'll build a professional portfolio that can help you as you start your career.
