Admissions Requirements for MS in Data Science and MBA/MS in Data Science Dual Degree
- Official transcript(s) from the degree-conferring undergraduate (and graduate if applicable) institution you attended, preferably but not necessarily accredited by an accreditor endorsed by the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA).
- If the applicant submits a "Request for Official College Transcript" form, Eastern University will request the transcript(s) on your behalf.
- Applicants with unaccredited Bachelor's Degrees can be considered for admission on a case by case basis.

“I love how the Data Science program allows you to work at your own pace. With three kids and a full-time job, this has helped me balance my already busy schedule with school. The professors have been very responsive to questions and helpful in understanding exam questions.”
