THE POWER OF THREE
This is how we illuminate a career path for our students:
CodePath Courses
At the heart of the CodePath E3 Program are timely courses designed by software engineers in the tech industry. All students are required to take our Technical Interview Prep (TIP) courses, which focus on empowering students to ace technical interviewing and give them a preview of real-world challenges in the industry.
In addition to TIP courses, each CodePath E3 Scholar will complete an elective course sequence in one of the following areas*:
-
Web Development
-
iOS Development
-
Android Development
-
Cybersecurity
*elective courses based on availability
Every class is hands-on, rigorous, and relevant, so you aren't just learning theory, but practicing the skills companies are actively hiring for.
Supportive Community
Every E3 cohort is more than just a class — it’s a community. You’ll connect with peers at your campus and across the country, building friendships, study groups, accountability partners, and networks that last well beyond graduation.
Along the way, CodePath and our employer partners host events that mix learning with fun — from social gatherings and swag drops to employer-led workshops. These touchpoints help you grow your confidence, expand your leadership skills, and build a support system that celebrates your success at every step.
Career Center
Your skills deserve the spotlight, and the CodePath Career Center ensures employers see them. As an E3 Scholar, you’ll unlock tailored programs and resources designed to launch you into a paid internship or full-time role, including:
-
1:1 Career Coaching – Tailored guidance for resumes, interviews, and job search strategy.
-
Networking Access – Direct connections to recruiters and industry professionals.
-
Career Lab + Career Fair – Live prep sessions and employer events, including the Emerging Engineers Summit with 65+ hiring partners.
With these resources, you’ll always have a coach in your corner, a recruiter in your network, and a clear path toward your future in tech.

Hear From Our Alumni
"The focus on hands-on activities and real-life scenarios made for an awesome learning experience. I appreciated how the course was structured in a way that reflected the nature of Cybersecurity."
"I’ve always been fascinated with the hackers' world. It was lucky of me, against many other applicants, to be accepted into this course. Although it could be a bit challenging without prior basic knowledge, the lectures are quite informative. Every week we get to explore new topics and hacking concepts with practice. I believe some problems are close simulations of real-world scenarios. To anyone pursuing a career path in Cybersecurity, this course truly aligns with your passion."
"For my cohort specifically, I am very happy that I am learning essentially first-hand what "hacking" really is including cybersecurity fundamentals. Also, the teachers have been amazing and have gone the extra-mile to help me and the other classmates countless amounts of times already."
“CodePath's cybersecurity program was a life changing opportunity for me. I learned so much that would benefit me individually and any organization I become a part of. The weekly classes, labs, and individual/group projects made this experience hands-on and so much fun. The knowledge I gained from this class landed me a Summer 2023 internship, what more could I have asked for?”

"Most HBCU CS Chairs are under-resourced. Even if we had the money, there just aren't enough CS professors. CodePath allows us to connect our students directly to what's being taught in the industry plus increase the number and quality of courses taught for free."
