The following description is what was submitted by 42 to the 2022 WURI Rankings:
42 does not require a high-school diploma or give a traditional certificate at the end. The students, ages 18 to 30, get accepted into 42 through a logic-focused entrance exam (no coding experience is required). Then they come to 42 for a month-long session called “piscine” (pool). If they succeed, they enter into the program, which runs 3 to 5 years. Having completed our monthlong rigorous basic training, accepted students begin the self-paced 42 program: collegiate-level courses in a unique environment. With no teachers or classes, students engage in project-based learning and peer-to-peer instruction to not only learn advanced programming skills, but to also develop valuable interpersonal skills, creativity, and problem-solving skills. 42 students complete a rigorous project-based program marked by skill-mastery levels and internships. With an innovative and industry-leading curriculum, we are proud to say that our students work for and take internships with top Silicon Valley companies, from those in the S&P 500 to startups out to change the world.
