Thanks for your interest in the Data Science, M.S. program.

Admission Requirements

Applicants must possess a bachelor's degree from an accredited institution, with a GPA of 2.85 or higher on a 4.0 scale.
- Applicants who do not qualify for full matriculation and have an undergraduate GPA between 2.5 and 2.84, may be conditionally admitted at the discretion of the program director.

1. One computer programming course
2. One college-level statistics course
3. Basic linear algebra
4. Basic database systems
Students with an insufficient background for direct admission into the Data Science M.S. program may be admitted if they take the required prerequisite course(s), with the approval of the director.
Submit GRE scores:
- Graduates of foreign universities are required to take the GRE and submit their scores.
- U.S. students with a GPA below 2.85 may, at the discretion of the dean, be asked to take the GRE or other diagnostic tests. Admission will be based upon consideration of test results, previous academic performance, and related employment, if applicable.
