When you click through from our site to a retailer and buy a product or service, we may earn affiliate commissions. And we pore over customer reviews to find out what matters to real people who already own and use the products and services we’re assessing.

We gather data from the best available sources, including vendor and retailer listings as well as other relevant and independent reviews sites. Would not recommend Flatiron any longer (fell off after being bought/sold by WW and admissions was letting practically anyone in the door at one point) or GA.ZDNET's recommendations are based on many hours of testing, research, and comparison shopping. Grace Hopper is Fullstack’s women-only arm, fyi. That said, Fullstack and Codesmith seem to prep their students best for interviews based on colleagues’ experiences, tho the curriculum of both seem fairly average.

ETA: of those that graduated with me, half still are actually working as SWEs. My IRL cohort graduated less than half of those we started with and I saw similar failure/drop-out rate in the following year on staff. A significant number students will likely wash out before graduation (or get punted to a no-deadline online program), to be painfully frank. Take job placement stats with a fistful of salt bc they’re notoriously skewed. Frankly, none of them have GREAT job placement if you have 0 previous industry experience/education and you have expectations of a 6-fig swe/cyber role in < 6mo of graduation (market for juniors is still extremely saturated).
