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).
- Applicants with unaccredited Bachelor's Degrees can be considered for admission on a case by case basis.

- How to Request a Transcript: View FAQs about requesting a transcript from your previous school.
- Current resume
- Minimum GPA of 3.0 preferred with particular importance placed on the last two years of the undergraduate record. Applicants with a GPA below 3.0 will be considered on a case by case basis. Those below 3.0 must submit a GPA letter that explains why the GPA was lower, evidence of likely GPA improvement. A graduate GPA over 3.0 can also satisfy the minimum GPA requirement.

“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.”
