Turing College is the product of engineers and educators passionate about innovation in higher education. We've studied at places like Stanford, worked at places like Google and we're set on changing the game for the better.

An adaptive learning system

At Turing College, curriculum is driven through an intelligent and adaptive self-paced system. Courses are modular and designed to align with execution goals. They fit your busy schedule and respond to your existing knowledge foundation.

Degree-oriented curriculum

Course material blends computer science theory with state-of-the-art software engineering practices. Learn core concepts using the freshest technology and languages from experts and seasoned professors who are focused on teaching.

Community oriented approach

Reinforce understanding through natural connection with peers, assistants and professors. Thrive in our network of like-minded individuals focused on performance, speed and execution. Collaborate, build and make your mark.

Turing College

A new technical college teaching Computer Science

Turing College was inspired by a love for education and frustration with the educational institution. We, a group of educators and programmers in Silicon Valley, realized there had to be a better way of approaching higher education. Since only some of us were talented or lucky enough to get into Ivy league schools, we were not smart enough to realize that much like walking into Mordor, one does not simply build a college from scratch. We're glad we did though, because what we ended up with was a school that teaches what we wanted to learn when we were in school, the way we wanted to learn it.

Here's what we wanted to learn:

An excellent foundation in Computer Science theory.
The ability to design complex systems.
The best Object Oriented languages.
Modern interpreted languages.
Functional Programming.
SQL and No-SQL databases.
Design patterns and when they really work.
Web scale applications.
How to use modern IDEs and Debuggers.
How to work with massive code and user bases.
Basically, how to be a RockStar in any language.

Here's how we wanted to learn it:

At our own pace. Typically much faster than any course we had ever taken.
On our own schedule.
From anywhere in the world.
A program that adapts itself to us, not the other way around.
In a system that took advantage of modern technology to help us learn faster and actually remember what we learned.
By using the knowledge in real world projects, not just academic exercises.
By connecting with other students; to collaborate, teach and be taught.
But mostly, we wanted it to be really relevant to the real world. Graduating after 4 or 5 years massively in debt and not being able to get a job because you were taught outdated skills just plain sucks.

There are a few other features we were able to throw into the mix too that we really wish had existed when we went to school. Things like:

Affordable tuition and no fees whatsoever. Close to 80% of the cost of college is a direct result of having ivy covered buildings and beautifully manicured lawns. Since we don't have those, we don't see the point in charging you for them.
A way of connecting with other students based on knowledge, not just proximity.
A prerequisite system that works on the concepts you learn, not the class you learn them in. Learning how functions work is the important part, not the language or class you learn them in.

If all this sounds like your cup of tea, head on over to our admissions page. We're having one of those once in a lifetime sales, a degree for $1000 for the first 128 visionary students to help us pay our first batch of professors.
