Data Science Immersive
"Supportive staff, worth it if you put the time and effort in!"
I completed the Data Science Immersive remote course in May 2021. My instructors were smart, helpful, and supportive, and my classmates were the same. I was really happy to be surrounded by so many like-minded data-nerds :) The course itself is very intensive,... Read More

"GA was the best chance I had to get a UX job!"
I think taking the UXDI program through GA was the best way for me to get a job in UX. I needed the discipline and accountability and my instructor, Shari, was amazing. The cons was that I felt like it wasn't strict enough or hard enough on its students.... Read More

"GA Immersive Software Engineering Bootcamp"
Trying to crack into the tech field without the resources/network/knowledge is a tall order but through the GA SEI Bootcamp, I was able to launch into a career despite having little development/coding experience before joining GA. This doesn't mean that... Read More

"Great Decision if You’re Willing to Work Hard"
The amount of knowledge you learn in this program is incredible. It’s A LOT of work - late nights most nights and many early mornings. Think of it as 12-weeks of college finals. You’ll never quite feel adequate, but that’s just imposter syndrome that... Read More

"Great program for those who are intrinsically motived but want a bit of guidance and structure."
Make no mistake that this immersive will challenge you—it's a major time and financial commitment—but if you're motivated and up to the task it's worth it. I'd say a large part of what you'll get out of this program is contingent upon what you're willing... Read More

General Assembly helped me transition from a career in Behavior Therapy to a true UX Designer. I was lucky enough to complete the program in person, but I graduated in March 2020 (right at the start of the pandemic). I did all of my job search and career... Read More

"Great program to kickstart your engineering career—but you have to do the work!"
Before I go into detail, I want to make it clear that this is a 12-week course. You can't learn everything in 12 weeks. You should go into this knowing that you're going to pull all-nighters, cry, and become frustrated—but you have tons of support and... Read More
