PROSPECTIVE STUDENTS

High School Preparation

A well-rounded college prep program in high school is appropriate for a prospective MCS major. Advanced mathematics and computing courses are a plus, but are not required. Communication and leadership skills are extremely important. Program proficiency tests are available for students who have had previous training in programming and computer skills. In some cases, the tests count as credit earned toward the program.
