MASTERING THE BASICS: Foundation

GOLD BADGE: Software Development I

Foundation is designed to prepare students with the technical and accelerated learning building blocks to successfully complete Software Development (SD) II and III. In SD I we focus on the basics of coding, including exposure to two programming languages, and building confidence. Students collaborate to produce functioning applications. Students may not always understand the “why” behind the applications. The “why” skills are further developed in SD II and SD III. Students will finish by coding a solo project, ready for the Core II. Students will have an opportunity to obtain an industry-recognized CIW certificate at no additional cost.

Financing At-A-Glance

PISA Icon

Progressive Income Share Agreement (PISA)

Learn now, pay later.


How it works: Defer tuition payment and repay once you land a job earning at least $42,500.

PISAs are sponsored by charitable foundations, businesses, government, private donors and others. They are designed to help today and tomorrow. Graduates pay-it-forward when they succeed. Repayment replenishes the fund to help the next generation of the tech workforce.

Best if you want to: Reduce upfront costs and defer payments until after you are hired.

Repayment: 5%-monthly net income once making $42,500/year. 0%-interest. Repayment helps fund future student tuition.
