42 is free, their main campus is in Paris, but they opened a branch in the US recently: https://www.42.us.org/

That's neither a degree, not EE, is it?

Yeah looks like they are not doing EE actually. For the degree part, I assumed the point of getting a degree is to find a job. Even though there is no formal degree with this school, you won't have any troubles finding a job.

If your goal is to be employed and anywhere will do this might be true but if you’re seeking a specific job, like research scientist, then you’ll have trouble (not impossible but very difficult) finding that job without a degree.

>DOES 42 DELIVER A BACHELOR’S DEGREE OR ANOTHER TYPE OF DIPLOMA?

>42 does not grant degrees or diplomas. Our program is based on levels of experience that you earn with a project. We deliver a certificate of completion at the end of our program. The experience and skills that you acquire while studying at 42 are essential for technical job interviews, and 42 has a strong reputation and connections to industry.

Isn't that only software engineering, not EE?

Good point, I thought they were doing both, but looks like they aren't!
