# Summer school: Hack Oregon opens applications for next class of Hack University

Here in Oregon, we like to do things a little differently. Even when it comes to something as structured as coding. We’ve got traditional code schools. But we’ve also got [Hack Oregon](http://www.hackoregon.org "Hack Oregon"). It’s not a code school, per se. It’s more of a code university, rethinking the model for teaching people to code and work among other developers.

Participating in the program means working on real world problems with a bunch of other interesting and intelligent people. And there’s no better way to get involved than participating in [Hack University from Hack Oregon](http://www.hackoregon.org/hack-university "Hack Oregon Hack University").

> Hack Oregon courses are not meant to be an end-to-end bootcamp, but are more like a challenging “finishing school” with a focus on specializations. The best way to think of these courses would be like a supercharged job-readiness track to go from feeling like a beginner to being ready work as a professional with real-world, high level project experience.

> You’ll also be part of the Hack Oregon family, which means a network of friends, professionals, and companies who are all connected by a commitment to open data and civic innovation.

[Applications are currently open](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1FhR-0HXazg0-qR7r2mi_wQBk7zy5L_zkqaQ7ovnsVjc/viewform "Apply to Hack University") for its summer class.Tuition for participating in Hack University starts at $250.
