How It Works
Our admissions is different than traditional universities. We are interested in your skills, capabilities, and code, not letters of recommendation and GRE scores.
We can people who LOVE coding! We don’t care if you are not a good test taker. We want coders.

1
Application and Coding Challenge
Submit an application sharing your background, goals, and coding experience. In some cases, you will be sent a coding challenge to demonstrate core programming abilities - similar to HackerRank or LeetCode.
2
Project Submission
You will be sent a take-home assignment and have a limited number of days to complete the assignment. Showcase your technical skills and problem-solving approach. You will be expected to code!
3
Technical Interview
You will be scheduled for a technical interview to review your take home project and answer additional technical questions and challenges. We want to understand better how you think, your logic, and what code you’ve written.

Admissions Decision
If accepted, you will receive an offer and a link to complete enrollment documents for the program. Plan on starting the program on your start date, beginning with Orientation.
