Make School

Jeremy Rossmann describes Make School as an accredited, project-based college for applied computer science that lets students defer tuition through income share agreements (ISAs). He explains how structured schedules, industry-experienced faculty, mentorship, and hands-on projects help students build skills and portfolios for software careers while developing the ability to keep learning. He argues that education and financing should align with student outcomes, especially for students without the financial safety nets that make traditional college or self-directed learning easier. He also discusses how colleges, employers, and startup founders may change as higher education faces pressure to improve access, relevance, and career outcomes.
