History

Fullstack Academy was founded in 2012 by David Yang (formerly of Yahoo!, Gilt)[5] and Wharton School alumnus Nimit Maru (formerly of Yahoo!, Bloomspot).[6] After succeeding as a Y-Combinator-backed startup,[7] Fullstack graduated its first cohort of students in 2013,[8] and moved to its current location in Hanover Square in November 2014.[9]

Course offerings

Fullstack’s flagship immersive course begins with a four-week “foundations” course, to be completed remotely before arriving on-campus. The on-site component of the program involves thirteen weeks of intensive JavaScript education, incorporating a lecture-workshop format, as well as a team-based project phase.[10] Back-end languages taught include Node.js/Express; front end languages include React.js/JavaScript MVC, HTML5, and CSS3; and Data Structures taught include MONGODB, NoSQL, and Postgres. Full-time students have access to career assistance following graduation. Tuition for the full-time immersive is $17,610.[4][11]

The Flex-Immersive is a part-time course covering the same content as Fullstack Academy’s full-time program. The foundations course and career assistance programs are also available to Flex students.[12]

Summer of Code is an immersive course for college and graduate school students with computer science or technically equivalent experience, held each year between June and August.[4] The course is full-time and adheres to the same curriculum and structure as the flagship immersive program.[13]

Admissions

Fullstack Academy’s immersive courses (Full-Time, Flex-Immersive, & Summer of Code) use selective admissions procedures, admitting approximately 8% of applicants.[14]

Applicants for the Full-time Immersive, Flex, and Summer of Code programs must pass a fundamental-skills evaluation, technical interview, and in-person interview prior to program acceptance.[15]

Awards and media

Fullstack Academy was named Best Coding Bootcamp of 2015 by SkilledUp.com.[16] Fullstack, its co-founders, and former students have received media coverage from Forbes.com,[17] The Huffington Post,[18] Business Insider,[8] VentureBeat.com,[19] and Fox5NY.[20]
