Entry requirements

In addition to satisfying general admission requirements for graduate study, all applicants are expected to have basic computer literacy. They must hold a bachelor's degree from an accredited institution in a field that includes one year coursework in calculus, and one semester coursework in matrix or linear algebra. Applicants with degrees in such fields as mathematics and statistics, as well as some engineering programs, usually meet these requirements. For applicants with degrees in other fields, these requirements are normally satisfied if students have successfully completed courses equivalent to the listed Mason courses. Note that coursework taken to correct deficiencies in undergraduate preparation are not counted toward the degree.
