Degree Requirements

The minimum credit hour requirement for the M.S. in data science degree is 33.5 credit hours. These credit hours include 30 credit hours of coursework, a 2 credit hour capstone (a two consecutive course sequence), and a 1.5 credit hour conference immersion experience. All work attempted for the master’s degree must be completed with an overall GPA of 3.000 or better. A grade of D or F obtained by a student will be calculated in their overall GPA, but cannot be applied to their degree. A student who fails to achieve a minimum 3.000 GPA may be required to take additional courses to bring their GPA to 3.000 or better or may be asked to discontinue study in the program. Note: Students may have additional expenses related to the capstone and campus immersion courses.
