The mission of Coleman University is to prepare students for meaningful careers in the computer professions, while providing an environment where those who become a part of this academic community may develop their full potential as human beings.

Coleman consistently provides extensive hands-on experience for its students, who have ready access to the latest computer equipment. That's part of the Coleman difference. We expect our graduates to encounter a wide variety of technical events and problems on the job, so it makes sense for them to encounter them first during training.

Coleman University was founded in the 1960s as an institution that prepared students to enter the Information Age. It subsequently became a recognized leader in the technological revolution. Coleman has educated thousands of professionals and continually changes its course offerings as industry standards change. The University's "inverted curriculum" offers your career training first. Following this curriculum, in only a few months students can be qualified for a computer-related career.
