Maharishi International University in the United States is offering the Computer Science Professionals Program, which is a study program and a paid internship for postgraduate students from all over the world.
About Maharishi International University:
Maharishi International University (MIU), formerly Maharishi University of Management, is a private university in Fairfield, Iowa. It was founded in 1973 by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi and features a “consciousness-based education” system that includes the practice of the Transcendental Meditation technique.
Benefits/Cost:
- The program will initially provide food and accommodation, and the internship will be paid. You are responsible for your travel and visa costs.
Eligibility criteria:
- You must possess a 3-4 year undergraduate degree in Computer Science or a related subject from an accredited college or university with a GPA minimum of 3.0 out of 4.
- With a grade point average below 3.0 your application will be considered if there is strong professional work experience as a software developer, or you have graduated from a top level university (as ranked on the world scale).
- 4-year degree graduates are required to have a minimum of 6 months IT work experience.
- 3-year degree graduates are required to have a minimum of 2-3 years IT work experience.
- Note: Final year or graduating students with a high GPA and no work experience may apply.
- You need to be familiar with one of these languages: C, C#, C++ or Java 8 or 9.
- You need to be able to read, speak and understand English well. Neither TOEFL nor IELTS are required. We do phone or Skype interviews to assess your English skills.
- Although not required for most countries, we strongly encourage you to take the GRE general test. A high GRE score may decrease the initial amount international students are asked to pay upon enrollment. Also, taking the GRE increases the likelihood of internationals obtaining a student visa for the program.
- GRE is required from all applicants from India and Iran, unless you have 2 years or more of paid professional programming work experience, and your GPA is above 3.0 (B average).
