The Cloud Application Development program was developed in collaboration with Google to provide graduates with a firm foundation in Cloud applications, as well as an opportunity to sharpen both their cloud knowledge and their overall programming and development skills.
Field of Study: Cloud Application Development
Division: Traditional Undergraduate
Locations: Fully Online
Options: Skilled Pathway
Degrees: Other
With cloud computing being an increasingly vital topic with a range of uses, including application development, data analytics, machine learning, networking, and infrastructure, students will gain a working knowledge of cloud technologies.
Cloud computing is the leading edge of work in many technologies, and students will benefit from having a working knowledge of cloud technologies and at least one major cloud platform provider. In the next ten years, opportunities in Cloud Solutions are expected to grow by 22.7%.
With this unique skillset, graduates may find jobs as a Software Developer/Engineer (median salary: $101K, 10-yr growth, 33%), Systems Engineer ($104K, 11%), DevOps Engineer (109K, 33%), Cloud Architect ($129K, 12%) or Application Developer/Engineer (94K, 33%).
Upon completion of Cloud Application Development, graduates will be able to:
No, but you may need one to get hired and having educational preparation in Cloud Application Development provides a massive advantage in earning potential and salary. People with a bachelor’s degree also have a 50% lower rate of unemployment, and on average, they make an additional $630,000 to $900,000 over their lifetime, even more in high-growth fields like this one.
Yes! The only way to make sure our program gives you the skills you need to get hired and teaches you to work through real-world problems is to partner with the people out there who are actually doing it. Our collaboration with Google means that their multi-billion-dollar expertise is reflected in everything you’ll study here.
Cloud Application Development is huge, so you’ll have tons of options, but most students discover which piece of the tech puzzle they have a passion for by their 2nd or 3rd year. If sci-fi-inspired possibilities for the future excite you, it may be artificial intelligence. If you would like to be a jack of all trades, you may point towards full-stack programming or web development. As you learn skills in Cloud Application Development, the possibilities available to you across industries are essentially endless.
A flipped classroom is one where the focus is not on lectures but on discussion, projects, and problem-solving. Students in flipped classrooms get the chance for more instructor feedback and, as a result, have been found to learn much, much faster.
If you enjoy creative problem solving, if you like interacting with people to create awesome things, if you are curious about how things work, and if you’re looking for a way to take part in bringing about a better future, you should consider this program.
Flexibility. Optional Synchronous means our Cloud Application Development courses can be attended together at one time with other students or on your own schedule. Many students prefer the learning that comes with live interactions, while other students love the flexibility of doing their courses whenever it fits into their schedule.
The courses in this program are part of an exclusive partnership between ENC and Rize Education, which means you’ll be learning with students from your campus, as well as students from a selective consortium of schools across the country. That means you get to enjoy the small Christian college environment while also building a national network of people in your industry before you’ve even graduated.
Not at all! In fact, recent research shows our “language brain” is more important to programming ability than our “math brain.” So, rest assured that, no matter how good (or bad) you are with math, Cloud Application Development could be your pathway to a rewarding career.
We are offering these high demand, skills-focused programs through an innovative nationwide consortium of over 75 colleges and universities much like ENC. As a student in these programs, you enjoy the opportunity to attend a small Christian college while developing specialized skills that will prepare you for careers in some of today’s fastest-growing fields. In your major and your general education coursework, you will have the opportunity to develop a strong Christian worldview while the courses in the RIZE partnership programs will supplement that work by exposing you to industry experts who will teach you and students at other consortium institutions virtually. We refer to these programs as skilled pathways because they emphasize the in-demand skill-sets that employers are saying they need. Students who complete all of the courses in a particular program will have their completion of the courses recorded as a minor on their transcript upon graduation, but many of the individual courses and programs offer opportunities to complete industry certifications or prepare you to complete certification exams that can also be valuable additions to a resume.
