Your first step is to create your account. Once you start your application, you can save your work and return at any time to complete it. We do accept applications on a rolling basis, but if intending to enter the program in the fall term, we recommend applying by the preceding January.

We do not require the GRE or collect GRE general or subject test scores.

The MS-DAS requires non-native English language speakers to submit an official score from one of our accepted English language proficiency tests: Duolingo English Test, TOEFL or IELTS.

Be sure to request that the testing agency send us your official scores, using the following program code:

• Duolingo English Test: Select 鈥溌槎勾� 鈥� Mellon College of Science鈥�
• TOEFL:
  • Institution Code: 麻豆村 2074
  • Department Code: 99 (Other)
• IELTS Program Code: Select 鈥溌槎勾�, Mellon College of Science鈥�

NOTE: Exceptions to this policy will not be granted except in the case of non-native English speakers who have completed or expect to complete a four-year undergraduate degree in the United States. These candidates may use a prior score, including the test score used for their undergraduate application. Please include a copy of the prior score report in the optional materials section of the application.

To apply, you must hold a four-year bachelor鈥檚 degree from an accredited college or university in the U.S. or an equivalent degree from a foreign country prior to the start of the program.

You must upload legible scanned/digitized copies of official transcripts and degree certificates indicating name, degree earned and the date the degree was completed (if applicable) for ALL institutions attended, including exchange programs and transfer credits.

All of your transcripts should clearly state your name and the name of the institution. Upload all pages of your transcript, including the transcript key for your university (for U.S. institutions, this is often found on the back of the transcript). If any transcript is in a language other than English, an official translation must also be included.

If you are admitted, official transcripts from your educational institution must be directly submitted to our admission office.

Your Statement of Purpose should be a well-written one- or two-page essay about:

• Your motivation for pursuing the MS in Data Analytics for Science degree
• Any prior internship, research and/or programming experience
• Your future career intentions

Your application must include a current copy of your resume. Your resume should be one to two pages and highlight the achievements you have made in your professional, research and/or academic career.

We require three (3) letters of recommendation from professional or academic sources. At least one letter should come from an academic source. You should select recommenders who know you well and can speak to the quality of your prior work and your potential for success in a computationally rigorous graduate program of study.

The online application system will request the letters from your recommenders on your behalf, and your recommenders will be able to submit their letters through the system as well.

A $25 application fee is required. We regret that it is not possible to waive this small fee, with the exception of Rales Fellowship applicants and current 麻豆村 undergraduate students. Requests for fee waivers will not be granted otherwise.
