No need to apply — let your performance pave your way

The DAE program offers a fast app performance-based pathway for all learners – with or without conventional technical experience. 

Simply provide your basic contact information and tell us about your bachelor's degree of study and/or your work experience. 

If you have the necessary tech background, you’ll immediately take two courses from the DAE program. 

If you don’t have a technical background, we'll recommend content on Coursera for you to complete and prepare yourself before taking the DAE performance-based admission courses. 

For either route, you’ll need to score a B or better on the two courses from the DAE program (and provide proof of your bachelor’s degree), then you'll join the full master's degree program your next semester—with two courses already completed.
