It’s our goal to eliminate cost as a barrier for aspiring software engineers looking to attend a coding bootcamp. As such, we offer our campus-based, full-time program students four different payment options, including a Deferred Tuition plan.
No distractions, open floor study space and live Q&As help our campus program students stay on task & accountable.
Our campus-based program curriculum is built on JavaScript & Ruby on Rails, two of today’s top coding languages.
You’ll work alongside and network with peers who will go on to become professionals in the industry.
The immersive nature of in-person learning means the program takes just 16 weeks (full time), compared to 24 weeks online (full time).
You’ll get to know and depend on one set of instructors & teaching assistants for the entirety of the course.
With campuses in downtown San Francisco & New York, you’ll be learning to code in a thriving tech hub, no matter which you choose.
Our grads more than double their initial salaries prior to joining, and earn a median base salary of $144,000 within three years of graduating App Academy.
App Academy is proud to be considered one of the best coding bootcamps in the United States. We’re even more proud that over 1,000 of our graduates have rated us 4.68/5.

App Academy welcomes all prospective students to apply. However, due to private higher education institute regulations, all students must be 18 or older and must be able to provide a copy of at least a high school diploma or equivalent. We welcome international students as well. Please note, however, that students must be a green card holder or U.S. citizen to be eligible for the deferred and hybrid plans.
You do not need coding experience to excel in our admissions process. In fact, the majority of students who complete the admissions process do end up getting admitted. Our application process consists of several steps:
For our in-person programs, we provide Apple pairing stations for everyone. However, you should bring your own laptop so you can continue working on projects/homework after hours. Your computer will need to use Apple’s OS X operating system (from at least 2010), Windows 10, or a variant of Linux such as Debian or Ubuntu. We also support Ubuntu on Windows 10 using the Windows Subsystem for Linux.
The objective of this course is to prepare graduates for employment as a Software Developer (Bureau of Labor Statistics Occupational Classification Code 15-1252).
Both programs feature the same comprehensive curriculum, but each campus has a different approach to scheduling. At our SF campus, students follow a hybrid class schedule where they spend two days per week on campus and take their classes online the other three. Students at our New York City campus attend class in person five days a week.
The first two weeks of instruction are fully online for both programs.
