The University of Hartford is pleased to offer its first Coding Certificate Bootcamp in collaboration with Stack Education, a Boston-based education company that works with higher education institutions to create STEM-based, career-driven skills development programming.
Beginning on Feb. 20, the 20-week interactive course will meet three times each week in the evening from 6:30–9:30 p.m. (EST), with classes being held 100 percent online. Students accepted into the bootcamp program will be taught full stack coding fundamentals by experienced industry practitioners. These students will develop technical solutions on a project for a real company, gaining real work experience while receiving valuable feedback and mentorship along the way.
At the end of this course, graduates will have gained the skills to:
- Understand why, not just how code works
- Build and deploy full-stack web applications from start to finish
- Code proficiently in JavaScript, Node.js, React.js, and more
- Build RESTful APIs

- Communicate effectively under pressure
- Create innovative solutions on diverse teams
- Understand the fundamentals of modern software development
- Manage version control with Git & Github
- Create test suites that help guarantee code quality

McGivney, Associate Vice President for Institutional Effectiveness and Continuing EducationThis partnership underscores the University of Hartford’s commitment to combine technical skills with career preparation and experience.
