Find the tuition plan that’s right for you

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 online, full-time program students four different payment options, including an Income Share Agreement (ISA).

Which tuition plans are available for this program?

Upfront Tuition: Pay the full tuition amount prior to starting the program. Total cost under the Upfront Plan is $20,000. If you are an international student, this plan is the only available option.

‍‍Climb Credit: Finance your tuition as monthly installments. Total cost is our Upfront Tuition price of $20,000, plus interest charged by Climb Credit. As of March 2023, interest rates range from 8.6% to 20.09%. Get a personal quote, without impacting your credit score. This plan is not available to residents of Maine or Mississippi.‍

‍Income Share Agreement (ISA): $0 deposit to start. Pay tuition only after you've gotten a job and are earning $50,000 or more. Then, pay 15% of your salary for 3 years (with a max of $31,000). This plan is not available to California residents.‍

‍Deferred Tuition: $0 deposit to start. Pay tuition only after you've gotten a job and are earning $50,000 or more. Then, pay a flat monthly tuition amount (determined by your annualized compensation) until you reach a total of $31,000. This plan is only available to California residents.

Tuition Plan Comparison

Are there any offers or discounts for this program?

Not at this time.

Why go to a school with an ISA?

A school using the ISA model only earns tuition after you get a job, and in that case, as a percentage of your salary. Structuring App Academy around your successful career change (and making our very survival dependent on it) drives every decision we make in designing and operating our school.

‘20 Online, Full Time Program Graduate

"I started off with no coding experience and at the end of the 24 weeks I felt confident in my abilities to break into the field of software engineering. It definitely wasn't easy, those 60 - 80+ hour weeks they tell you about are true, but with perseverance and hard work it's worth it."

Day-to-Day at App Academy

We designed our online, full-time coding bootcamp to give you the same successful outcome as our campus-based, full-time programs, but from your own home.

Lecture

Every morning, you and your classmates will attend live lectures and demos (a few are pre-recorded), which will cover both theoretical and practical use cases. Next, you’ll have a chance to get any questions you have answered, during a live Q&A session, before we ask you to put the concepts you just learned into action.

8am

11am

Lunch

Take a break, eat some food, and connect with classmates. This is a great time to develop relationships with others who will be one part of your huge alumni network through App Academy.

Projects + Pair Programming

After lunch, you will pair-up with a classmate and work on projects that drive home the concepts from the morning’s lecture. Working with others is something you’ll do almost all the time in software development, so learning to adapt to different people on different projects is very important. It also helps to talk through problems with one another, work as a team, and find solutions together.

12pm

4pm

Group Review

You spent the day working through different projects to master key concepts. Now, reflect on what you just accomplished by talking about it with your classmates in a group setting. Share what you did during the day. Find out how others did things differently. Gain a wider perspective on the material by synthesizing experiences with your classmates.

Homework

Now, it’s time to get ready for the next day. You will spend an hour or so going through preparatory material for the following day’s class. You’ll get exposed to the important ideas, sleep on it, and return the next morning to take one more step toward software programming mastery.
