Fullstack Academy is an immersive software engineering coding bootcamp located in New York City. [1] Students of the full-time flagship course learn full stack JavaScript over the course of a 13-week, on-campus program. Fullstack Academy offers beginner courses in JavaScript (JavaScript Jumpstart) [2] and front-end development, [3] as well as a summer program for college-age students (Summer of Code), and a part-time version of their full-time curriculum (Flex). [4]
Fullstack Academy was founded in 2012 by David Yang (formerly of Yahoo!, Gilt) [5] and Wharton School alumnus Nimit Maru (formerly of Yahoo!, Bloomspot). [6]. The company joined the Spring 2012 cohort of Y-Combinator. [7] The following year, Fullstack opened to students. [8] In 2019, Fullstack Academy was acquired by Bridgepoint Education. [9] Founders David Yang and Nimit Maru left the company in 2021. As of 2021, Fullstack no longer offers an in-person bootcamp in Chicago. [10]
Fullstack's flagship immersive course begins with a four-week "foundations" course, to be completed remotely before arriving on-campus. The on-site component of the program involves thirteen weeks of intensive JavaScript education, incorporating a lecture-workshop format, as well as a team-based project phase. [11] Back-end languages taught include Node.js/ Express; front end languages include React.js/JavaScript MVC, HTML5, and CSS3; and Data Structures taught include MONGODB, NoSQL, and Postgres. Full-time students have access to career assistance following graduation. Tuition for the full-time immersive is $17,610. [4] [12]
The Flex-Immersive is a part-time course covering the same content as Fullstack Academy's full-time program. The foundations course and career assistance programs are also available to Flex students. [13]
Summer of Code is an immersive course for college and graduate school students with computer science or technically equivalent experience, held each year between June and August. [4] The course is full-time and adheres to the same curriculum and structure as the flagship immersive program. [14]
Fullstack Academy's immersive courses (Full-Time, Flex-Immersive, & Summer of Code) use selective admissions procedures, admitting approximately 8% of applicants. [15]
Applicants for the Full-time Immersive, Flex, and Summer of Code programs must pass a fundamental-skills evaluation, technical interview, and in-person interview prior to program acceptance. [16]
Fullstack Academy was named Best Coding Bootcamp of 2015 by SkilledUp.com. [17] Fullstack, its co-founders, and former students have received media coverage from Forbes.com, [18] The Huffington Post, [19] Business Insider, [8] VentureBeat.com, [20] and Fox5NY. [21]
