Performance-based admissions is about “how do you be inclusive, rather than making it difficult for professional learners, lifelong learners to aspire toward higher education,” said Mallik Sundharam, vice president for enrollment management and student affairs at Illinois Tech.
"Illinois Tech’s mission has always centered on elevating graduates to new heights in career and economic success," says Illinois Tech Provost Kenneth Christensen. "Our online degrees through Coursera are a contemporary extension of this mission. These programs offer the same learning outcomes, rigor and expectations as their on-campus counterparts while incorporating industry credentials to ensure our graduates are career-ready."
The National Institute of Technology (NIT-Trichy) and Illinois Institute of Technology, USA have entered into a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to offer a joint degree programme in Data Science and Artificial Intelligence (AI), which comes under the New Education Policy. The collaboration sets a new standard in global education, focusing on student exchange, joint research, and an innovative engineering-focused joint degree in Data Science and AI uniquely tailored for lifelong learners commencing in Fall 2024.
