Final Application Deadline for Masters of Science Applications.
Applicants must hold a Bachelor’s degree (or equivalent) or be in their final undergraduate year. All majors and backgrounds are welcome. Work, research, clinical and other relevant experiences are valued.
Master’s of Science students will apply directly to one of the two following concentrations, which each have additional pre-requisites:
- Modeling & Informatics: Students applying to the M&I concentration are required to have at least two semesters of math or advanced statistics, as well as some experience in computer programming.
- Science Policy: Students applying to the policy concentration need introductory economics and political science.
We strongly encourage students to apply to the program at the point at which they have already taken, or are in the process of taking, the pre-requisites. Applicants must take the pre-requisites prior to matriculation and pass them with a B or better in order to matriculate.
