Coding Curriculum
You can’t build something great without a solid foundation, and we believe success as a web developer works much the same way when it comes to computer science fundamentals. For that reason, the curriculum at University of Utah Professional Education Coding Boot Camp includes a deep dive into the basics of data structure and coding.
We also know that the best way to establish credibility with potential employers and get job offers is to demonstrate your skills on real-world projects. That’s why hands-on experience is at the center of our program.
