The program confers the Masters of Science degree. The University of Chicago awards the degree. To emphasize that this is a terminal masters degree aiming in preparing students for a career in the corporate world and not for academic research. The program is designed especially for people with no background in computer science.
New students attend a quarter-long introduction to the fundamentals of computer science.
The introduction comprises approximately 100 hours of classroom time. In order to expetite the review process we do accept unofficial copies of virtually anything. If an offer of admission is extended it will be conditional on us receiving official copies of all the required documents. In other words you will not be allowed to take courses without having official of your credentials in your file here. The University of Chicago operates on a quarter-system.
