We are currently planning to offer all ITP classes remotely for the Spring 2021 semester. Depending on local regulations, we may to pivot to a hybrid format. Regardless of whether ITP classes are offered as hybrid or online, students will have the option to take any Spring 2021 ITP class entirely online.

About
Technology is for everyone.
Learning how to write computer programs, use big data, and publish websites is valuable for all careers.
You might be looking to technology to increase your impact in your career — such as public policy, fine arts, or education. Maybe you’re a pre-law student interested in investigating cybercrime. A journalist wanting to back up your stories with data. Or an entrepreneur with an idea for a new app that you’re trying to get off the ground.
ITP offers over 75 courses to get you there. Introductory courses help you create a foundation — whether you’ve started learning how to code on your own or you’re brand new to it. And when you build upon that foundation in our advanced courses, you can graduate with a high-tech portfolio and a future-oriented skillset.
