Student Selection Criteria
All applicants must meet the following minimum admission requirements.
Bachelor's degree from an accredited University or College.
We are familiar with many education systems in countries that use a different format than that of the United States. For example, in India and Australia, a bachelor's degree is often a three-year program. We accept that three-year degree from individuals who have received their education from a school in India or Australia as a fulfillment of the bachelor's degree requirement. If your education system has a structure that differs from the undergraduate programs' structure in the United States, please let us know prior to applying so that we may investigate.
You must also have taken at least one college level course in statistics and pre-calculus.
Relevant Professional Work Experience
For the one-year and part-time track programs, at least three years of full-time, professional, post-baccalaureate relevant professional experience;
Programming Experience
Prior programming experience or equivalent coursework in a modern, object oriented programming language such as java or C++.
English Language Requirements
For students whose native language is not English we require a minimum overall IELTS score of 7.0, with a score of no less than 6.0 on any individual bands. For those applicants who may submit the TOEFL, a minimum of 620 on the paper based test (or equivalent computer or iBT based test) is required.
