Partnership Creates First U.S. Developer Academy in Detroit

Apple and Michigan State University announced that they will partner to launch the tech giant’s first United States-based Developer Academy in Detroit.


“We’re grateful for the partnership and the opportunity it brings to Michigan,” said MSU President Samuel L. Stanley Jr., M.D. “Apple is the perfect partner for us to help educate and prepare a diverse generation of coders, tech leaders and entrepreneurs, and Detroit—Michigan’s innovative technology and premier urban hub—is the right location for this academy. There is tremendous potential for this project moving forward, and we’re excited to get started.”

Apple’s partnership with MSU began with the iOS Design Lab on campus and continued with community-based learning opportunities around technology in Detroit. The academy, which will be located in downtown Detroit, will welcome its first cohort of students in Fall 2021. MSU is currently accepting student applications.
Additionally, MSU is seeking marketing, design and coding specialists to join its team at the academy.

These positions are available at careers.msu.edu.
