Do I have to know code before I apply?
No, you don’t! But it doesn’t hurt if you’ve made some strides toward learning the craft on your own. A lot of our incoming students start learning online through free resources before the start of their program. But what we really care about is your natural aptitude, because when you have all the right raw materials, you’ll make a great programmer. During the application process, you’ll take the Criteria Cognitive Aptitude Test, also referred to as the C-CAT. It will test your ability to problem-solve and think critically, which are important foundations for learning software development.
