Established in early 2011 as an innovative community in New York City for entrepreneurs and startup companies, General Assembly is an educational institution that transforms thinkers into creators through education in technology, business and design at over 25 campuses across four continents.
During the 2020 hiring shutdown, GA's students, instructors, and career coaches never lost focus, and the KPMG-validated numbers in their Outcomes report reflect it. *For students who graduated in 2020 — the peak of the pandemic — 74.4% of those who participated in GA's full-time Career Services program landed jobs within six months of graduation. General Assembly is proud of their grads + teams' relentless dedication and to see those numbers rising.

I completed the Data Science Immersive remote course in May 2021. My instructors were smart, helpful, and supportive, and my classmates were the same. I was really happy to be surrounded by so many like-minded data-nerds :) The course itself is very intensive,... Read More

"GA was the best chance I had to get a UX job!"
I think taking the UXDI program through GA was the best way for me to get a job in UX. I needed the discipline and accountability and my instructor, Shari, was amazing. The cons was that I felt like it wasn't strict enough or hard enough on its students.... Read More

"Great Decision if You’re Willing to Work Hard"
The amount of knowledge you learn in this program is incredible. It’s A LOT of work - late nights most nights and many early mornings. Think of it as 12-weeks of college finals. You’ll never quite feel adequate, but that’s just imposter syndrome that... Read More
