This program is open to anyone who achieves a qualifying score on the International Programming Aptitude Test, a three-hour exam administered on select Saturdays at the Prince William and Arlington Campuses. Since this is a test of aptitude and not knowledge, studying is not necessary to take the test. Please see IPAT for more information. 20 percent of the fee is due at registration and the remainder due before the second month. To ensure extensive hands-on experience, classes are conducted in a personal computer lab environment at George Mason's Prince William or Arlington Campus or the TTT lab in Reston.
Instructors have relevant industry experience, knowledge, and skills to provide the training.
TTT students also have access to many Mason career events and regular career information updates via e-mail. We provide many tools and resources to facilitate entry into the IT career field. Please see Career Services for more information. The program is a professional training program, not a degree program. However, personal loans are accepted.
