Why Modern University?

Personalized education from experts produces 70% better students. Better students results in higher paying salaries. Personalized education has and will remain the most effective education. It is as true today as it was two-thousand years ago.

Modern University teachers focus entirely on giving you personalized feedback via personal meetings, code reviews, and design reviews. With class sizes less than 10 students, teachers are able to really help you succeed.

Traditional universities and coding bootcamps can’t provide personalized feedback. Teachers are too busy lecturing and student-teacher ratios are too high, ranging from hundreds to thousands per teacher. As a result, you won’t get one-on-one time or a single code review.

Teachers focus on you

To become a quality software engineer, you need personalized feedback from a professional engineer. Our teachers focus entirely on giving you direct feedback via personal meetings, code reviews, and design reviews. This structure produces 70% better students than students in a traditional classroom setting.

Traditional universities and coding bootcamps can't provide personalized feedback. The student to teacher ratio is way too high.

Network & Recruiting
Built-in

Our teachers work at tech companies that are hiring and are always looking for talent. Networking and recruiting are embedded into the learning process.

At traditional universities and coding bootcamps, you learn in a black box, have to network on your own, and convince them you are a good engineer with great soft-skills in short interviews.

Less than 10 students per teacher

Everyone learns better in small groups with an expert guide. Our cohorts are never larger than 10 students per teacher.

Traditional universities and coding bootcamps student-teacher ratios range between hundreds-to-one all the way to thousands-to-one.

Learn from anywhere

Our courses are all online. You will use Zoom to meet with your teachers and fellow students.

This allows us to bring the best of Silicon Valley talent to you as well as prepare you for remote jobs.
