In the Align Master’s program, students join a cohort of other students with diverse perspectives and academic backgrounds, from anthropology to business to communications. Together, they’ll take two semesters of foundational bridge courses—building connections along the way by studying, socializing, and preparing for master’s-level coursework with their classmates. Some will have recently completed their undergraduate degree, while others have years of professional experience. All are new to computer or data science–so they’ll share a common goal: to break into tech.
