## Summary

Neumont's own website, captured 2026-08-11. It carries the school's account of itself — founding year,
accreditor, mission, and the project-based model it is built around — and it is the source of the
**name inconsistency** this wiki has to navigate: the same page brands the institution "Neumont
University" in its hero and copyright while giving "Neumont College of Computer Science" in its
contact block.

## Useful Claims

- The school states it has operated **since 2003**.
- It is **accredited by the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities (NWCCU)**, by its own
  statement.
- Its address is **143 South Main Street, Salt Lake City, UT 84111**, with a toll-free number spelling
  **1-888-NEUMONT**.
- Degrees are **focused on computer science**, and the model is **project-based learning** with
  students building "a portfolio of real-world experience" alongside coursework.
- The site advertises **Enterprise Projects** and **Enterprise Partnerships** as distinct programs,
  linking students to outside companies, and maintains a Career Services function addressed to both
  students and employers.
- Student life is unusually explicit about the field it serves: alongside housing and clubs, the site
  lists **Esports** and **"Neumont on Steam"** as campus offerings.
- **Naming is inconsistent on a single page.** The hero reads "NEUMONT UNIVERSITY / SALT LAKE CITY,
  UTAH", the copyright line reads "© NEUMONT UNIVERSITY", and the footer contact block reads "Neumont
  College of Computer Science".

## Reliability Notes

Self-reported tier. This is the school's own recruiting site, and the prose register — "training
ground for modern-day tech heroes" — is admissions marketing. Nothing here is independent evidence
about educational quality, outcomes, or student debt, and the site should not be cited for any of
them.

Three specific cautions:

- **The accreditation claim is the school's own.** It is a checkable claim and a serious one to make
  falsely, but this capture is the institution asserting it, not NWCCU confirming it. A citation to
  the accreditor's own directory would be the primary record and has not been added here.
- **"Since 2003" is a founding claim with no supporting record on the page**, and it does not
  distinguish between founding, first enrollment, and first accreditation.
- **The name is not stable even within one page.** Anyone matching this institution across datasets
  should expect both "Neumont University" and "Neumont College of Computer Science", and should treat
  the federal record as the tiebreak — see
  [the IPEDS record](neumont-ipeds-directory-record.md), which files it as
  Neumont College of Computer Science.

The site is most useful as evidence of **what the school says it is for**: the enterprise-project and
employer-partnership machinery is displayed as the core of the model rather than as an extracurricular,
which is a substantive and checkable claim about how the program is organized.
