I'm a currently-employed web developer (bootcamp grad) and I'd love to see a part-time (nights and/or weekends), cash up front offering to deepen my CS knowledge. Just throwing that out there in case part-time something you guys have thought about. I'm sure I'm not the only bootcamp grad that could use an in-depth CS program.
- austenallred 9y agoYeah, we think about it a lot. We want to be very careful about scaling into something like that because the part-time dynamic is very different than full-time, and the most important thing to us is our student experience. It would also be long, if we used the current curriculum. Like... a year long. We're not sure if that's too much of a commitment for most folks, so we're asking.
- hello_newman 9y agoI'm in a similar boat to the person above (bootcamp grad working as software developer). I have been trying to do a comp-sci degree but that cost, degree requirements (classes unrelated to my major) and actually going to school after work is a major pain. I would definitely pay for a year long (or more) part time CS course if it was intense and online. I'm doing that already, but it would save me a lot of time/money of not having to actually commute to school.
- austenallred 9y agoCool. Mind if I email you to ask a few questions?
- hello_newman 9y agothat sounds great!
- ozanonay 9y agoHey there! We've been doing this at Bradfield for a couple of years, and do get quite a few bootcamp grads (maybe 100 to date) typically 1-3 years into their careers. Which bootcamp did you attend? Ask around there and I'm sure somebody has good things to say about us :)
