Created by distinguished faculty from The University of Texas at Dallas, the Master of Science in Data Science and Statistics program combines practical and theoretical instruction — including diverse elective options in specialized areas — to equip students with advanced data analysis capabilities and the refined expertise needed for leadership roles across corporate, nonprofit, and government sectors.
Specific additional admission requirements for students in degree programs in the Department of Mathematical Sciences follow. Students lacking undergraduate prerequisites for graduate courses in their area must complete these prerequisites or receive approval from the graduate advisor and the course instructor before registering.
One of the components of a student's academic history which is evaluated when the student is seeking admission to the graduate program is his/her performance on certain standardized tests. Since these tests are designed to indicate only the student's potential for graduate study, they are used in conjunction with other measures of student proficiency, such as GPA (grade point average), etc., in determining the admission status of a potential graduate student. Accordingly, there is no rigid minimum cutoff score for admission to the program. Higher standards prevail for applicants seeking Teaching Assistantships.
