rospective online students may need to submit SAT or ACT scores when applying to undergraduate programs and the GMAT or GRE for graduate programs, though this varies. “I have mixed feelings about test scores myself. I think they show a snapshot in time of how a student does. Part of that is how they test – do they have test anxiety or not?” says Vickie Cook, executive director of the Center for Online Learning, Research and Service at the University of Illinois—Springfield. “On the other hand, I know that there is substantial evidence that students who have certain levels of competency that they bring in that’s reflected through that test score are more successful.” Students with several years of prior work experience may be able to waive SAT, ACT, GRE or GMAT score requirements.

Quantum courses have been around for a while, but today, the theories are becoming reality. The idea has already bubbled up in technical areas such as computer science, management of information systems, physics, and computer engineering. But there are also futuristic curricula that need to take into account the advantages of quantum computing. “The computers do exist,” Ray said. “Probably in the near term, they’ll be in the cloud, and we will pay for a millisecond or a second or five seconds of use of the computer at most, so it probably won’t be sitting on your desk.” (ed note: check out the two minute animation of my explanation of quantum computing)
