My apprenticeship lets me apply what I’m learning in class to actual client work every week, and it makes everything click.

Questions?

We Have Answers

What degree will I earn?

You'll earn a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science degree, with a specialization in one of the following areas: Artificial Intelligence, Cybersecurity, Data Science, or Software Engineering.

How long is the program?

The program takes three years to complete. This program includes a four-month full-time immersive program, followed by part-time study and part-time apprenticeship for the remaining 32 months.

If you choose not to pursue an apprenticeship, you will still be required to do 3 industry projects while continuing studies part-time.

How does Clarke’s accelerated pace work?

Clarke’s bachelor’s programs follow a sequential structure rather than the traditional semester model. Instead of taking multiple classes at once, students complete one course at a time, each lasting one to two months and building directly on the last. The program includes short breaks throughout the year but follows a year-round schedule, allowing you to stay focused and graduate faster.

If the program runs year-round, are there any breaks?

Yes. Clarke’s programs are designed with flexibility in mind, allowing students to manage their own pace while staying on track. Each academic year includes about five weeks of scheduled breaks, typically around major U.S. holidays. Students can also work ahead in some courses to take short breaks when needed. This schedule mirrors the rhythm of a professional environment rather than a traditional academic calendar, helping students transition smoothly from school to the workplace.

Is the program entirely online?

Yes. Clarke is fully online, but highly interactive, with mentors, peers, and project work built into every phase. You'll collaborate with mentors and peers through tools like Discord, GitHub, and live sessions, with structured mentorship and feedback every step of the way.

What are the hardware requirements?

We recommend that students have a laptop that was manufactured within the last 4 years and has 16GB+ of memory. While most of our students choose macOS, Windows and Linux are both supported as well.

How do the apprenticeships work?

Clarke’s programs are built on the philosophy of applied learning through apprenticeships. We collaborate with nonprofit partners and employers to help connect each student with meaningful opportunities. The final decision always rests between you and the partner organization — Clarke facilitates introductions and matching, but does not directly place students.

How is Clarke College different from traditional universities?

Clarke’s computer science program is built entirely around real-world experience. You’ll learn through hands-on projects, mentorship from professionals, and applied work in apprenticeships. The curriculum focuses on the technologies and workflows used in the field today, not abstract theory or unrelated electives. Every course is designed to move you closer to a career in tech.

What careers will I be prepared for post-graduation?

The computer science program has 4 specialization tracks that prepare graduates for different career paths. Here are several roles these tracks will prepare you for:
‍
AI Engineer
Cyber Analyst
Data Analyst
Data Scientist
Full Stack Developer
Machine Learning Engineer
Security Analyst
Software Engineer

Is Clarke College accredited?

Yes. Clarke College is a member college of Woolf, a globally recognized and fully-accredited European collegiate institution. This makes your degree portable and verifiable, just like any other degree program.
