As I entered the distance education Masters Walden (United States)

Inspired by the posts on the Habre and Layfhakere decided to remotely obtain a master's degree in computer science. After long searches chose the University Walden, Minnesota, USA.

The final list of documents that in one form or another had to provide:

  • Higher Education: a notarized translation of the diploma and transcription of paper sent by mail from the issuing institution.
  • Proof of knowledge of the English language: an essay about how I studied English and two letters from supervisors, confirming my English skills.
  • More than 3 years experience in the IT industry: a letter of recommendation from the work place and resume. Dear Roman Kvasnyj,
    Congratulations! On behalf of Walden University, I am pleased to offer you admission to the MS in Information Technology - Track 1 Software Engineering. This email will serve as your official letter for classes beginning May 5, 2014.
