Testing

1. English: Fluent communication in English is an essential factor for successful internship and academic performance and is therefore an important component of the Program. Students will be interviewed prior to their acceptance to the Program and then will be re-interviewed and tested for comprehension upon arrival at the University. If the test results after the student’s arrival are significantly inferior to the initial test results, then the University has the right to immediately dismiss the student from the Program. If it is determined that some remediation is required, then the student will be required to attend the part time ESL classes offered at MUM at a charge of $125 per month which will be added to their Student Accounts. They must show significant improvement in their English after 2 months on campus in order to remain in the program. If the student’s English is still below the required standard, then they may be asked to leave the program.
   To properly prepare for the work component of the Program, all students are required to speak English at all times while in the classroom and the computer laboratory. This will provide students with the opportunity to further develop the English fluency needed for successful professional performance. Any student who intentionally disregards this requirement will be subject to dismissal with full responsibility for the applicable withdrawal charges.

 

1. Programming Test: In a similar manner, because of the importance of the Practicum component of the program, some students must show their strength in some area of technical practice prior to acceptance to the program. To validate the results of the programming proficiency test taken during the application process, each student will be required to take a similar but different test after his or her arrival on campus. This test will be supervised and proctored by the Computer Science Department. If the student is not able to pass the programming test on campus, then he will need to immediately leave the University.
