    Worth the Battle!

    Throughout the 24 weeks this bootcamp lasted, I had doubts on whether I would be able to complete it. I can say after that 24th week, I am glad I sticked to it.

    I was interested in finding a new career path since I dropped out of college after my first year. I was studying computer science and it just was not fit for me. I started looking into cybersecurity more and was very interested in all the different paths you could follow. Through my employer, I looked at bootcamps they pro...

    Transformative, Dynamic, Immersive.


    It's hard to believe that I am already halfway through The Full Stack Coding Boot Camp program! The journey so far has been nothing short of transformative, and I'm honored to share my experience.
    The decision to pursue a career in coding wasn't an easy one, but it was undoubtedly one of the best choices I've made. Having recently graduated from the Data Analytics and Visualizations boot camp at this same prestigious university, I found myself at a crucial juncture. T...

    My Experience with the Full-time Boot Camp

    The past three months have been both some of the most stressful but most rewarding of my life. I came into this Code Camp looking for something new and something challenging and I got exactly that and more. I made friends, I learned an awesome new skill and now I can take steps forward in my career as a developer. Our instructor was awesome and made things so light-hearted and fun, and our Teacher-Assistants were extremely diligent and helpful. They gave us so many resources to help us w...

    Beginner-friendly Bootcamp that is Rich and Transformative

    As a beginner to most of the concepts we covered, the sometimes challenging pacing of the program was nonetheless manageable and rich in content. Our program covered a wide range of topics, while providing hands-on experience that made the material feel thorough and not superficial. After I use the certification credit included in the program, I believe I will have a range of real experiences to discuss with future prospective employers.

    Best and the most useful learning experience of my life

    Before deciding to take this program, I'd been dreaming about moving into the field of Cybersecurity for quite a few  years. The course exceeded all my expectations. I took the live online version. It's intense, covers all major segments of the industry, and it's very well-composed in a way that you really do gain knowledge, including very hands-on experience. There was a lot of homework (and I mean A LOT :)) I feel like during the six months in the Bootcamp I've learned more than I did ...

    MERN Full Stack Bootcamp

    Great instructors, they gave myself and my group members support whenever we needed it. This bootcamp made me realize that I like doing UX/UI design, I'll be joining that bootcamp soon. My advice to a new student would be to USE A TUTOR, save up your money, sick time and vacation time before starting this program, you'll need it and be happy you did so. Everything was great except "Ask BCS" was not helpful. I tried "ask BCS" twice and they were uninterested in helping so I decided I woul...

    The Cybersecurity Boot Camp was totally worth it!

    I joined this program because I wanted to further expand my tech knowledge into cybersecurity and I didn't know how or where to begin. This program doesn't require having any cyber knowledge and it guided me from the very start. I can confidently say that I learned how to use various (ethical) hacking tools and even created my own hacking project for my final. 10/10 would recommend this boot camp to anyone that is looking where to start in cybersecurity.

    challenging rewarding adventurous

    I surprised myself to even enroll in school. I knew I was capable of so much more than just working a job, I wanted a career, but I didn't think I was good enough for school but look at me now, I did it. The journey wasn't easy, working fulltime and overtime but I pushed through and made it to the finish line.

    Breaking into my dream field.

    I would like to start by saying, this course has been exactly what I didn't know I needed. I had left my previous employer and was looking to break into a field I had a passion for. When I went my own way, I was mindlessly scrolling through job boards for tech jobs. It seemed I'd never find something that I qualified for or was in a field I wanted to be in. I happened to come across the U of M Cyber Security Course, and I thought what the heck. Ever since, I have been building my reperto...

    University of Minnesota UX/UI Boot Camp

    I chose to move into UX Design after completing a freelance design job. I realized that while working on this project that I felt fulfilled and eager to keep working even after it was completed. I have never felt like that at a job before. 

    I really enjoyed my boot camp experience, while it was difficult and frustrating times, it was exciting to see my knowledge and skill grow in real time. My favorite part of the boot camp was probably working in studio classes where we were spli...
