The University of Pennsylvania’s School of Engineering and Applied Science has just launched its first completely online master’s degree. Students can now earn a Master of Computer and Information Technology (MCIT) offered exclusively on Coursea.

Though the Coursea platform professors are enabled to build beginner all the way to advanced programming assignments that combine auto, peer and human grading done by on-campus teaching assistants and faculty that provide live-video office hours.

MCIT online costs about one–third the price of an on-campus degree (roughly $26,300) and is open to students who have no previous background in computer science. It is designed for students who are interested in a wide variety of high-potential career paths in all areas of computing.

MCIT Online offers the same education as the on-campus MCIT. As the only Ivy League Computer Science degree that has no computer science prerequisites, MCIT is designed for students from diverse academic backgrounds to have an opportunity to pursue a career in technology.

Applications are now open for the ten-course program that starts in January 2019.
