Who should apply?

This course is designed for computer science undergraduate students of all experience levels looking for internships/full-time software engineering jobs that want to improve their confidence and speed in technical interviews. We have limited spots for graduate and international students.

CodePath’s mission is reprogramming higher education to create the most diverse generation of engineers, CTOs, and founders. This includes (but is not limited to) individuals who self-identify as Black/African American, Latino/a/Hispanic, Indigenous, Pacific Islander, women/women-identifying, and students who come from low-income backgrounds or are first-generation college students. Our rolling admissions process gives priority to students from these populations, and our course is open to all college students at no-cost. We encourage you to apply.

What experience levels is this for?

This course accommodates varying experience levels from total beginner to advanced. As part of the admissions process, we calibrate your interview readiness level and place you into the best fit group for your current experience.

• Intro to Software Engineering assumes you have very limited or no prior interviewing experience.
• Intermediate Technical Interview Prep assumes you know the basics of data structures (arrays, linked lists, etc.)
• Advanced Technical Interview Prep focuses on solving tougher and more complex algorithm problems including dynamic programming and greedy algorithms.
