Our Approach Sets Us Apart

Our programs go in-depth, ensuring that students have the time and resources to develop proficiency in a variety of skills.

These are not crash courses or boot camps. In addition to our high-quality courses, we go beyond the classroom, offering events such as panels, mock interviews, and networking mixers. Through hands-on experience and a comprehensive curriculum, we cultivate your expertise and prepare you for a long and successful career.

Expert Faculty

Our faculty is comprised of experienced professionals who are well-respected in the computing world. Because they are actively working in their respective fields, faculty members can offer students the most current industry insights.

We want you to get the most out of your education – that’s why we foster a mentorship-based academic environment. Our small class sizes mean you will be more than just a number. Connect one-on-one with your professors to receive personalized support and build your network.

An Expansive Alumni Network

Willamette’s long history has produced a large and supportive alumni network. Through events and mentorship opportunities, our students are able to build connections in a variety of industries. We have fostered a tight-knit community of graduates who are eager to share their expertise and provide introductions to new Willamette alums.
