A message from the program director
As someone who worked full time while earning a master’s degree, I fully understand the challenges of juggling a graduate education with professional life. One of the best features of our MCIT Online program is that it alleviates many of the pain points of going back to school while working.
Our curriculum is 100 percent online, and you can learn at your own pace through pre-recorded lectures, individual and group assignments, and discussion forums. But you’ll also have extraordinary access to world-class Penn faculty and teaching assistants who use virtual channels like Zoom and Slack to guide and support you.
You’ll also join a dynamic community of classmates from all over the world and an amazing range of backgrounds. Our program attracts everyone from philosophy majors to physicians and from recent college graduates to professionals with twenty years of experience. The diversity of perspectives enriches our class discussions and broadens your professional network.
As you explore MCIT Online, I encourage you to view our most recent admissions webinar before you start your application.
