By Brandon Swenson

Lenexa, Kan., July 28, 2020 — Grantham University, an online university, announced today that it has been named a top school for producing software engineers by DesignRush. The study ranked the top non-Ivy League schools by analyzing software engineering curriculums and cited Grantham for its “great emphasis on developing, in their students, strong analytical thinking, application of knowledge and reasoning skills, analyzing problems, defining requirements and designing solutions.”

“We are excited to be recognized among other leaders in educating software engineers,” said Dr. Anthony R. Petroy, president, provost and chief academic officer of Grantham University. “While software engineering is becoming an increasingly popular career choice, the demand for qualified engineers is still far outpacing the supply. This recognition affirms to us that our programs are succeeding at preparing students for dynamic careers in a promising market.”

According to DesignRush, the job market for developers is expected to grow by 21 percent by 2028, “continuing to outpace the growth of the talent pool and perpetuating the gap between the demand and the supply of IT professionals,” making this the ideal time to earn a degree in software engineering.

Grantham University offers two online software engineering degree programs: a Bachelor of Science, as well as an Associate of Science, in Computer Science degree program. Both provide students with foundational knowledge of programming in JavaScript and C++, data structures, operating systems, programming languages, computer networks and more.
