They definitely are and attendance is down across the board. Several programs have shutdown or consolidated, and the top programs are seeing lower enrollment from the peaks.

That doesn’t make much sense because the amount of CS majors have risen 4.09% since last year. Which programs have shut down that you know of?

Sorry BOOTCAMPS have shutdown, not CS majors. I think more people are shifting to degree too

Which bootcamps have shut down? And which ones have consolidated? Thanks in advance!

Shutdown: - Ada (possibly temporarily) - Kenzie Academy - Make School - Juno College (no longer SWE) - Bloc.io (was acquired but still running, could be consolidated) Consolidated: - Full Stack Academy - Tech Elevator - Codesmith (recently got rid of CTRI and unofficalg layoff reported) - BloomTech (eliminated a ton of staff) - App Academy (eliminate a number of TAs) - Trilogy (rebranded to Edx) - Episodes (unofficial layoffs)

HackReactor also slowed down hard after the government money stopped flowing in

Can you provide any kind of primary or secondary evidence of layoffs or cohort consolidation? I haven't heard anything, but I did suspect the 19 week program was promoted to expand the audience and get more people signed up.
