Programming Pre-Test
Before we can process your application, you will need to pass the programming pre-test. For this simple test you are required to write code in one of the following languages: Java, C++, C#, or C. See sample test. Instructions on how to take this test can be found in the email we sent to you that confirmed your initial qualifications for our program (Subject: Phase 1a MUM MSCS Initial Approval.)

Applicants who fulfill all other entry requirements but are lacking current knowledge of programming and Object Oriented (OO) software methods may enter the Preparatory Track. This track is NOT a substitute for the full coverage of these topics which the students are expected to have completed during undergraduate courses.

Additional Items to send:

AFTER we notify you that you passed the Programming Pre-test, you will need to submit the items listed below.

Please submit items by email to intadmis11@miu.edu.

Scan your documents and create a JPG or PDF file for each of them. Please use JPG or PDF format for all scanned documents.

The Resume and Course Description Worksheet must be sent as Microsoft Word files.

Do NOT send .ZIP files. If it is not possible to scan some of the items, you may fax those documents to 641-470-1378. However, email is preferred.

Please allow 4-5 business days for us to post your documents.

When we receive items 1-4 below, we will inform you about your status, so please send them as soon as possible AFTER you receive an email stating that you passed the Programming Pre-Test:

Email a Word (or other text) file of your new resume according to the above instructions.

2. Scans of Official Transcripts and Diplomas

Send us scanned versions of transcripts (mark sheets) and diplomas (certificates of graduation or degree awards) of any graduate or undergraduate studies from ALL colleges, universities, and accredited institutes that you have attended. Please include an English translation if they are not in English. Please also include a grading conversion table, if available. Your transcript must be accompanied by the Course Description Worksheet (See point 3 below).

The scanned transcripts will allow us to process you application more quickly. Later in the admissions process, we will require the originals of your transcripts. (See point 5 below.)

In addition to scanned transcripts (described above) which you will email to us, please request that each college or university you attended send us a sealed, official copy of your transcripts.

PLEASE NOTE that although we will begin to process your application using the scanned documents you submit, we are NOT able to send final acceptance and visa documents (form I-20) until we receive sealed official transcripts directly from your college or university. Please do NOT send your personal copy of the transcripts by postal mail. Faxed transcripts will not be accepted.

Please have your college or university mail the transcripts to:

Please answer all questions on the Personal Information Form, including the essays and then press the SEND DATA button. Please submit the form as soon as possible so that you may have so we know that you are interested in continuing with the application process.

7. Standardized Test Scores and IT Certifications

Applicants from India with less than two years IT work experience are required to take the GRE for admissions to our program. For applicants from other countries, we strong encourage them to take it, but it is not required. A high GRE score may decrease the amount you are expected to pay upon enrollment. Also, taking the GRE increases the likelihood of obtaining a student visa for our program.

To submit scores for the Graduate Record Exam (GRE – institution code 4497), the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL), or any IT certifications in programming/OOP from companies such as Sun, Cisco, or IBM, please email the scanned certificates to intadmis11@mum.edu (use JPG format ONLY. Do not send .ZIP files.)

The recommendation must be submitted no more than 6 months prior to the date of your enrollment. It may be completed online here. A written recommendation is also acceptable, and may be faxed to 641-470-1378. You may also email a scanned version.
