Trilogy Education Services (often shortened to Trilogy Education) is a New York City-based technology education company that offers non-credit technology training programs, colloquially known as coding bootcamps, through affiliate universities. In-person courses are held on the affiliate university campus. Revenue from the tuition is shared with the affiliate university. Program graduates receive a non-credited professional certificate from the partner school and career advisement. There is no job placement guarantee and no third-party verified jobs reports have been released, though outcome data is privately shared with partner universities. The partner schools do not regard program graduates as university alumni, nor program enrollees as university students. The programs cost to and are not eligible for federal loans, nor do students receive a Form 1098-T. The company was founded in 2015. In June 2017, the company received US$30 million in a Series A funding, followed by US$50 million in Series B funding in May 2018. It was bought by Maryland-based education technology company 2U in April 2019 for US$750 million. History Trilogy Education was founded in 2015 by Dan Sommer, whose father was a trustee for State University of New York.

In June 2017, the company received $30 million in a Series A funding round led by investment firm Highland Capital Partners. By then, the company had 250 employees. In September, the company announced it was partnering with Monterrey, Mexico-based Tecnológico de Monterrey (ITESM), to create a tech training program on ITESM's Mexico campus. Trilogy Education also started working with the University of Toronto in Canada. In May 2018, the company received an additional $50 million, in a Series B funding round co-led by Highland Capital Partners, Macquarie Capital and Exceed Capital. At the time, the company reported it had 7,500 current students currently enrolled, and 2,000 graduates of its programs. As of July, the company was working with 37 universities.

It was bought out by 2U in 2019 for $750 million, with $400 million in cash (in part with a short-term $250 million loan) and $350 million in newly issued
