CodePath for Colleges

Industry-Aligned Programming, Equitable Paths to Tech Success

CodePath offers plug-and-play resources and courses to faculty at no cost, while providing students — particularly those who are Black, Latinx, Indigenous, first-generation, and low-income — access to the project-based experiences, mentorship, and career services required to succeed in the tech industry. 

Let's Discuss a Partnership

HOW WE PARTNER

How We Work with Colleges Like Yours

We believe in the value of a college education combined with our programming to give students a career trajectory in the tech industry that leads to significant economic mobility. CodePath strategically partners with CS Departments at colleges and universities with the highest enrollment numbers for Black, Latinx, Indigenous, first-generation, and low-income students to supplement university offerings with CodePath courses, mentorships, career support, and a network of talented and diverse alumni.

Whether for credit or not, all of our programs are offered to colleges and universities at no cost and provide professors with the technical training, grading support, and up-to-date curriculum to help inspire students to follow their passions.

Non-Credit

Non-credit partnerships are led by CodePath student volunteers called Tech Fellows. In this partnership, your role is to spread the word and encourage students to take CodePath courses, and then monitor the success of the program. Think of it as a test to get your feet wet before integrating CodePath into your department.

For-Credit

For-credit partnerships are run with a professor of record, or a professor leading the course. A professor of record champions CodePath at your campus and makes administrative decisions, though the course is led by Tech Fellows. Or, a professor can be fully trained and ingrained with the CodePath team, leading the course themselves.

Career Services Support

As a CodePath partner college, your students will receive industry-specific, career-changing support through internship programs, mentorship, career fairs, technical interview prep, and more. Plus, CodePath students get direct access to some of the top engineers in the industry, allowing them to build their network in the tech world.

    "Most HBCU CS Chairs are under-resourced. Even if we had the money, there just aren't enough CS professors. CodePath allows us to connect our students directly to what's being taught in the industry plus increase the number and quality of courses taught for free."

    BARUCH SCHIEBER, PH.D.

    Professor and Chair, Department of Computer Science, New Jersey Institute of Technology

    “CodePath is leveling the playing field. We are not one of the top 10 universities, but with CodePath we can give our students similar opportunities. With CodePath our students are introduced to the state of the art tools that are used in the industry, which may not be covered in other courses.”

    “CodePath is filling the gap between school work and the real world. CodePath helps students practice things like teamwork and using Git resources that would be considered dishonest in the academic setting. They’re giving students a real-world technical experience and proof that you actually know how to do the job.”

    “Besides key skills, CodePath was a game changer for me because it advocates for minorities in tech and makes them technically proficient. For me, the worst thing I can be called is a ‘diversity hire.’”

    "CodePath helped me improve my skills in mobile app development and understand the numerous factors one must consider when building an app. The labs were not only fun to do but also provided a challenge. I also appreciated the collaborative component of the class as it allowed me to interact with people from across the country."

    "I’ve always been fascinated with the hackers' world. It was lucky of me, against many other applicants, to be accepted into this course. Although it could be a bit challenging without prior basic knowledge, the lectures are quite informative. Every week we get to explore new topics and hacking concepts with practice. I believe some problems are close simulations of real-world scenarios. To anyone pursuing a career path in Cybersecurity, this course truly aligns with your passion."

    "CodePath's Android Application Development class was one of the most rewarding classes I have ever taken. Once we started working on the group project in the second half of the course I learned so much and felt positively challenged. For every idea my team wanted to implement on our app we looked at tutorials and learned on our own and that has made me confident in my ability to learn and implement new packages and tools. The video walkthroughs and the availability of the TAs made me feel really supported and the project-based nature of the course gave me the capability to work on things at my own pace. I recommend this course to anyone who is hungry to gain more skills and is willing to dedicate the time. You will not regret it!"

    "My experience at CodePath was by far the most significant experience I’ve had in college. Before CodePath I had no idea what I wanted to do with tech I just knew I wanted to be in it. The future was still very hazy and I was getting anxiety because I was worried I wasn’t going to succeed despite being at a great university. After CodePath, I continued working on my final project for that class and applied to be part of The Basement at UCSD’s summer incubator program where I evolved my project into a startup. I have never been more confident in what I want to do now and it’s all thanks to CodePath."

    "Codepath's course taught me crucial concepts that I would otherwise not have been exposed to. The mentors at Codepath are extremely knowledgeable and helpful, and I have received much guidance from them. The program is extremely holistic and covers essential yet often overlooked parts of getting a job, such as salary negotiation. I highly recommend Codepath's courses."

    "My goal has always been to make a positive impact in the world through technology, and CodePath has given me the support and platform to do just that. Within a year, I have combined my passion for teaching and my love for mobile development while working alongside some of the most outstanding engineers in the industry. I completed the Android Development course this past Spring. Since then, I have built an award-winning mobile application, reached Top 10 in one of the country's largest hackathons, and worked at Meta (Facebook) as an Android Intern Lead by helping to instruct and facilitate the diverse Facebook University Program for incoming interns. In addition, I am currently working as an Android Tutor for Google's pilot program, which aims to increase Black representation in tech. I can say, without a doubt, that I have become a better engineer thanks to CodePath."
