Engineering/Computer
Science
Have
you always had a knack for mathematics? Do you enjoy finding
solutions to problems? A career in Engineering or Computer
Science may be the right move for you.
The
"cool" benefits of MIT:
- There
are an abundance of jobs in the Computer Science field.
- Jobs
are offered in a variety of disciplines.
- You
will hardly ever need to call for service on your private
computer, since you will have the necessary skills to service
it yourself.
- Professionals
in Computer Science fields can make up to $200,000 per year.
- You
could be the next Bill Gates.
- Since
most people do not know much about computers, you will be
able impress them with your technical knowledge.
Programs
Offered at the MIT
There
are three Bachelor Degrees available through MIT in Computer
Science. Each of the programs take four years to complete,
and each leads to a Bachelor of Science degree in the area
you prefer
Course
V1-1/V1A
This program will lead to a Bachelor of Science in Electrical
Science and Engineering.
Course
V1-2/V1-2A
Students will receive a Bachelor of Science in Electrical
Engineering and Computer Science by taking this course.
Course
V1-3/V1-3A
This program leads to a Bachelor of Science in Computer
Science and Engineering.
MIT
also offers an internship program. The V1-A Internship program
will add a year or two to the completion of the program due
to the four work assignments/co-op placements. However, the
experience that a student gains from a placement is significant.
Internships can also aid in the financial burdens of schooling.
Program
Requirements:
To
get admitted to the Computer Science program at MIT, you must
complete the appropriate tests, either the SAT I or the ACT,
and 3 SAT II's consisting of: one math, one science (biology,
chemistry, or physics), and one humanities class (world or
American history, writing, or literature). A strong sense
of math, analytical, and problem solving skills are very important
in pursuing a Computer Science degree.
MIT
prides itself for considering the whole applicant. They do
not set a minimum standard requirement for scores. They do
tend to take candidates who score high, making selection somewhat
competitive; however, the student's range of interests are
taken into consideration. MIT is looking for students with
both academic and nonacademic strengths and students who will
be able to contribute to the MIT community.
