Make School is redesigning college for the 21st century. Our bachelor's degree program combines liberal arts, computer science theory, software development, and character development with an emphasis on preparing students for successful careers as software engineers, product managers, or entrepreneurs. Our alumni work at Facebook, Google, Apple, Snapchat, LinkedIn, Lyft and more. Our college is accessible to students of all backgrounds, 40% are underrepresented minority students and 50% come from low income families. Students pay tuition as a percentage of earnings once they are employed, directly aligning their incentives with ours. Make School is funded by Learn Capital, Y Combinator, Mitch Kapor, Alexis Ohanian, Tim Draper and others.
Make School.org is a nonprofit focused on creating upward mobility for students through science and technology, historically offering a project-based bachelor’s degree in applied computer science and supporting scholarships for underrepresented students.
Historically operated a two-year, project-based Bachelor’s in Applied Computer Science (BACS) program aimed at preparing students for high-earning tech careers; the program was hosted at Make School and later moved to Dominican University of California. The organization also runs a scholarship program to provide tuition support for students from underrepresented backgrounds. As of 2021, the BACS program transitioned away from Make School to another institution, while Make School.org continues philanthropic activities and donor-funded support.
Who it’s for: Underrepresented students seeking affordable pathways into tech careers; higher-education partners and supporters in need of scholarship funding and program collaboration.
