With a focus on human-centered design, students will get a jump-start into learning to developing user-friendly web sites and mobile applications.
What we get to take out of the class actually get to put back into something that can help somebody else. It’s not just learning and memorizing and test-taking. It’s learning and then using it with real people.

The VANTAGE Experience
VANTAGE Computer Science provides students with a comprehensive look into how modern digital systems, mobile apps, and websites are designed, built, and secured. In addition to learning the content of the two embedded courses, students develop skills in creative problem-solving, innovation, user-centered design, and cybersecurity principles. Project teams design and develop mobile apps, web interfaces, and secure system solutions for outside project partners. Students learn how to identify user needs, gather technical requirements, and apply cybersecurity best practices to protect data and digital resources. This innovative combination of computer science, cybersecurity, and art/design gives students a broad and relevant skill set to excel in applied technology fields.
