By students, for students

What we do

We helped pioneer student-led classes to address the lack of professional application of designing and developing digital experiences at Cornell.

Our courses count for official credit hours, are sponsored by professors, and overseen by the university – but taught by students just like you.

How you can be involved

We have our own add deadline to enroll students past the university’s standard dates, but we require students to sign up to each course. Check out the timeline below for an overview of our courses.

Feel free to email us at courses@cornellappdev.com, with the subject specifying which course(s) you're interested in.
