Software Development Online Part-Time Accelerated

Program Overview

In the Software Development Part-Time Accelerated program, students explore the fundamental building blocks of web and software development by being guided through the basics of how the web works, front-end development, back-end development, and database development. Beginning with web fundamentals, students will encounter HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to design and manipulate user interfaces. Then, students explore a set of popular back-end languages and technologies such as Python, JavaScript, or Java to manage and manipulate data through the request-response cycle. These concepts are typically used for building out many common applications, which students will also have time to contribute to their own portfolio. By the end of the program, students will have exposure to various software design patterns such as MVC, OOP, SPAs, and REST.

Notes:

Should a student enroll in the 1 or 2 stack option and decide to add onto their program, students have the option to add additional courses. Additional courses add $4,000 per course to the cost of the program and are not eligible for scholarships or incentives. Students are encouraged to ask about bundling prior to the start of the Projects and Algorithms course.

Students that enroll in the 2 or 3 stack option may also choose to remove bundles from their program. Courses may only be removed if the student has no attendance or activity in the course and must be requested prior to the course start date. Removed courses will reduce the cost of the program and may result in a refund or third-party adjustment.
