Important Information About the MS in Applied AI Program Prerequisites and Quiz
- Prerequisites: Students applying to the Applied AI program should be proficient in Python, including data manipulation using Pandas. This can be demonstrated through any one of the following:
- Option 1: A degree (undergraduate or graduate) in data science, computer science, or a related field
- Option 2: MS-level coursework or equivalent education (e.g., bootcamps or MOOCs)
- Option 3: Completion of DTSC 520, DTSC 575, and DTSC 580
Note: DTSC 520 and DTSC 575 count toward the Certificate in Data Science, but do not count toward the MSAI. These courses do count toward the MS in Data Science and MS in Data Analytics programs.
The Applied AI Program Prerequisite Quiz is required but can only be taken by admitted students, as it requires Eastern University credentials. If accepted, you will receive the quiz link and can complete it before paying a deposit or registering.
