How do I show quantitative ability?
MCIT Online is designed for people without a background in computer science. That being said, we need to see evidence of your quantitative abilities in your application. For example, we will take note of grades that you received in math, science, and engineering courses. If you have not taken courses in these areas, or if you received low grades in the past, there are other ways that you can demonstrate your quantitative abilities. The GRE or GMAT is one option. We don’t require GRE or GMAT scores for admission to MCIT Online, but a good score will help to strengthen your application. Taking one or a few college-level math courses from an accredited institution is another way you can confirm your quantitative ability. For those that already have proof of quantitative ability but want to showcase their desire for computer science, taking a computer science class from an accredited institute can help confirm that you’re up to the challenge of the MCIT Online program. It’s also a good way to make sure CS is the right direction for you.
