Entry requirements

The Master of Science with a major in Applied Data Science degree will provide students with a working knowledge of techniques and software commonly used in Data Science. The degree is designed for engineering students and working professional engineers with a B.S. degree in a non-computing engineering field, that is, for engineering students and professional engineers who have engineering degrees other than Computer Science or Computer Engineering and possibly Industrial and Systems Engineering. The degree will prepare engineering students to work as data scientists in industry and can also be used by engineering students working towards a Ph.D. degree in non-computing focused engineering degree programs. University-wide graduate admission (not specific to this programme): application through the UF graduate application; official GRE scores are required by most programmes (GMAT for MBA applicants), per programme; transcripts, a CV or resume and letters of recommendation where the programme requires them.

Tuition is charged per credit, so the total depends on the modules you register for each year. Current fees are listed in the official fee schedule.

Graduate applicants apply through the UF graduate school application on CollegeNET and pay a $30 non-refundable application fee; the Office of Admissions does not offer an application fee waiver. Deadlines vary by department. Most applicants must submit GRE scores, all MBA applicants must submit GMAT scores, and some engineering programmes accept the Fundamentals of Engineering exam instead of the GRE.
