One place to choose your learning path, review what's expected, and start your application. BlendED admits a limited number of learners—applications are reviewed on a rolling basis.
Our classes are intentionally small and intentionally mixed. The strongest groups pair an engineer with a clinician, a designer with a quant, a policymaker with a roboticist.
AI shouldn't be built by engineers alone. Every field deserves access to AI tools, and every learner deserves the chance to lead.
Four steps, transparent at every stage. The application is free—you only commit when you accept your seat. Most learners go from "submit" to "joined" in under two weeks.
Pick a program, tell us about your background, and answer two short prompts. Free to apply, ~20 minutes, save-and-resume any time.

No. Most BlendED learners come from outside CS. Our programs assume comfort with logical thinking and basic data—not Python or machine-learning experience. PBL tracks pair you with peers who fill your technical gaps; SPOCs include a foundations module before the deep-dive.
Yes. Many learners apply to a PBL and a SPOC in the same season. There's no fee, and we share information across applications so you don't repeat yourself. If you're admitted to both, our advisors will help you sequence them.
No. We believe language is a vital tool for learning and connection—but it shouldn’t be a barrier to accessing opportunities in AI+X. That’s why we do not require any English test scores. As long as you’re able to learn and communicate in English—whether naturally or with the help of AI tools—you’re welcome to apply.
Yes. You must be at least 18 years old to join the on-campus experience. Exceptions apply for learners who are only participating in online learning.
You’re not at a disadvantage. Many of our participants are first- or second-year students who join to explore new fields, gain hands-on experience, and collaborate with peers from diverse backgrounds. In fact, starting early can be a unique advantage—it gives you more time to build skills, clarify direction, and benefit from the experience. Our admissions team focuses on fit, not seniority. We look at how well the program aligns with your current goals and stage of growth. We assess each applicant within the context of their background, academic year, and potential, not by comparing freshmen to seniors or professionals. Show your initiative and curiosity—we’re looking for students ready to grow, wherever they are in their journey.
Yes. To ensure a high-quality, collaborative learning experience, each PBL cohort is limited to 30 students and runs 3–5 times per year. Seats are offered on a first-come, first-served basis within the community. Once enrolled, you’ll gain access to your learner dashboard, where you can register for PBLs and manage your learning journey.
At BlendED, we do our best to accommodate each learner and the academic team's preferred schedule. By using the "REQUEST" function in your dashboard, you can indicate your preferred start date for the next round of PBLs. So if your desired project isn't currently open, no worries—we'll help you join the waitlist and prepare for the next opportunity.
If admitted, your learning plan officially begins with the start date of your first selected SPOC or PBL, NOT at the time of enrollment confirmation.
Your application will be reviewed by our admissions committee, which includes faculty, program alumni, industry partners, PBL academic coordinators, program advisors, and mentors.
