Degree Requirements
Students in the Master of Science in Analytics, concentration in Data Science program, must successfully complete 30 credits and maintain a cumulative GPA of not less than 3.00.

Concentration in Data Sciences Coursework
There are five three-credit core courses, designed to provide students with a solid foundation in data science. We also give a zero-credit programming course in the summer prior to matriculation. The additional five three-credit elective courses allow students to learn tailored skills, helping them apply data analysis to fields of interest. Coursework may be taken in any order that is allowed by the prerequisites.
