Program Prerequisites
Although not required at the time of application, these prerequisites must be met before the start of the above-listed coursework:
While students benefit from having degrees in business, computer science or related areas, this is not a requirement for the program. Many students enroll with undergraduate degrees in liberal arts or other areas not related to business or computing.
The program requires proficiency in introductory programming concepts and Python syntax. Those who have taken courses in an object-oriented computer programming language and have had the equivalent of at least one year of programming experience are exempt from this requirement.
