Students explore the convergence of computer science and design as they develop mobile applications and web site designs for project partners. While focusing on the user interface and the overall user experience, student teams specify solutions that drive new capabilities and important business improvements.

With a focus on human-centered design, students will get a jump-start into developing products by empathizing with the user first.

Guest Instructors

Guest instructors provide expertise on topics aligned to the VANTAGE curriculum. Teachers use a content-first approach to learning, enabling you to master academic core content, and then see how it is implemented by business partners to provide solutions to real-world challenges.

Mentorship and Networking

All VANTAGE students have a 1:1 mentor, but the networking extends beyond one professional. Mentors often open doors and guest instructors freely share their contact information, some provide employment and extended site visits.
