The Intro to Programming course in our program is for beginners. Since our classes are entirely online, we require applicants to complete this pre-work assignment so the applicant can see if the format of our classes is right for them. Watch this short video to learn more about the Pre-Work Assignment portion of your application process:

As mentioned in the video, the assignment you will complete has two parts then you will need to submit the pre-work assignment:

  • Part 1 – Tutorial (approximately 15+ hours)
  • Part 2 – Demonstrate (approximately 5-10 hours)
  • Submit the link to your pre-work coding assignment

All three parts take most applicants at least 20 hours to complete so plan your time! You have from now until the pre-work deadline for the trimester you’re applying for to complete and submit the assignment.
