Catalyst Program
Learn now, pay later. Currently available at select U.S. campuses and online, our Catalyst program lets students take a career-changing Immersive course at no upfront cost. Pay back your tuition in manageable monthly installments only once you’ve landed a job making $40,000 or more.

0%-Interest Loan

Employer Sponsorship
More than 45% of General Assembly’s part-time students receive tuition reimbursement from their employers. Employer sponsorship option is an effective way for organizations to invest in their talent — and their teams' future — through education in new, relevant skills.

Full Tuition (With Pay Upfront Discount)
Pay early, get rewarded. Receive a $450 discount when you pay full tuition upfront for any immersive course or a $250 discount when you pay full tuition for any evening or 1-week course. (Note: This financing option is only available in select U.S. markets.) See our U.S. Catalog for details on available discounts.

Installment Payment Plan
For students who are unable to pay the full cost of tuition at one time, we offer installment plan options that spread payment out over the duration of a course.
Depending on the course format, various payment increments are available. Contact our team to learn more.
