Coding and software development courses in Kansas

19 coding and software programs with costs, results and funding that can make them free

8 schools offer these software development programs, and Kansas has approved every one for workforce funding. Each shows its price if you pay yourself and how past students did. One school runs 11 of these 19 programs, so the typical figures lean heavily on its prices and results.

Computer programmers write, change and test the code that makes software and apps work. Most have a bachelor's degree, but some employers hire people with other training or experience in specific programming languages, and programmers can get certified in a language.1

In Kansas, 5 of the 19 programs take students without a high school diploma, 13 ask for a diploma or equivalent and 1 asks for earlier courses first.

By kind, the 19 programs here are programming language or developer tool course (11 programs), software or app development certificate (3 programs), programming or software development (associate degree, 2 programs), software testing and QA course (2 programs), and 1 more of one other kind.

How to pay for coding and software development courses in Kansas

WIOA funding can pay for coding and software development courses in Kansas

Every program on this page is approved for it. Whether you qualify, how much your local area pays and how to apply are on our page Does WIOA pay for job training?

Financial aid and grants for coding and software development courses

Most students can get federal student aid for college, career school or trade school. A Federal Pell Grant, unlike a loan, usually doesn't have to be repaid. Ask the school whether its program qualifies.67

GI Bill for coding and software development courses

Veterans, service members and qualified dependents can use GI Bill benefits for non-college training programs.8

The program list does not show which programs accept these. Ask the school.

Where the Kansas software development program numbers come from

Which Kansas software development programs are on this list?

These are the software development programs Kansas approved for WIOA funding (public workforce funding under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act), as reported to the US Department of Labor for program year 2024 (July 2024 to June 2025). Each state keeps its approved programs on an eligible training provider list (ETPL).9 The list here covers programs approved as of June 30, 2025. Schools that never applied for approval are missing, so this is a part of what Kansas offers.

How the prices and results of Kansas software development programs are measured

Prices are tuition and required fees for someone paying without workforce funding, as the school reported them; check the current price with the school. Results describe students who left each program in recent years, so they are no guarantee, and the yearly earnings are the reported quarter times four, an estimate. A program without a "Trained with WIOA funding" line may still take WIOA students. Where a field was left empty or withheld, the page says "Not reported", and "Left out" where a figure was filed but failed one of our checks; nothing is estimated to fill a gap. Where the numbers come from explains each figure in full.
