Preparatory Programming Class

Each year, the MSCF program will offer an optional computer programming preparation course. This course is a refresher course in basic C++ syntax and rudimentary program development. While this course is designed for those whose programming skills may have become a bit rusty, it is hoped that the course will prove useful to nearly all MSCF students who take it.

• To encourage attendance, the course is open to all MSCF students matriculating this August.
• There is no additional charge for the course for entering MSCF students.
• Students will be responsible for purchasing any reference texts.
• Incoming MSCF students can register for this course via the MSCF Admitted Student Website.

Course Material

This course may involve hands-on program development in the following areas:

• Create projects in MS Visual Studio
• Write functions
• Use C++ libraries
• How to think about variable types and basic algebraic mainipulations.

Individuals not enrolled in the MSCF program can participate in the class at a tuition of $3000. To qualify, submit your resume along with a list of previous programming courses taken to Gwen Stanczak at gwens@cmu.edu.
