Accelerated program in Data Science and Artificial Intelligence allows students to focus on an area of interest from their undergraduate studies in Data Science and Artificial Intelligence. It will provide opportunities for students to work on and collaborate on topics of interest, conduct scholarly research, and work in-depth on the software and hardware platforms that are part of the Data Science Institute.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">This program is designed for students with a background in computer science, applied science, business, or economics. For preparedness, students need to be currently enrolled in a B.S. program.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>Advantages of the Program<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Accelerates the attainment of an advanced degree<\/li>\n<li>Facilitates seamless transition to a master\u2019s degree<\/li>\n<li>Increases students\u2019 marketability in the field of Data Science and Artificial Intelligence<\/li>\n<li>Saves students time and money<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Admission Requirements<\/h4>\n<p>Students may apply to the program upon completion of 60 credits, and upon acceptance, take two graduate courses (6 credits) within their last 30 credits.<br \/>\n<strong>Specific admission requirements include:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Successful completion of 60 credits<\/li>\n<li>Cumulative major GPA of 3.0 or higher, Major GPA of 3.0 or higher; at the time of application and when the BS degree is completed<\/li>\n<li>Complete the BS degree in four years or less<\/li>\n<li>Submission of the graduate application, and personal statement (500 words)<\/li>\n<li>Official transcript(s) will be obtained from Enrollment Services upon completion<\/li>\n<li>Two letters of recommendation from school of Undergraduate Degree<\/li>\n<li>An interview may be required<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Students may apply to the program by November 1st, but not later than March 1st prior to their last 30 credits.<\/p>\n<h4>Credits and Curriculum<\/h4>\n<p>If accepted into the accelerated program, students will take up to six Data Science and Artificial Intelligence graduate credits in either the fall or spring semester within their last 30 credits. Graduate courses taken while an undergraduate are billed at the undergraduate tuition rate and fulfill course requirements for the Bachelor&#8217;s and Master&#8217;s degrees. The bachelor&#8217;s degree will be awarded upon successful completion of all requirements for the undergraduate degree.<\/p>\n<p>Note: The University will apply the initial 6 graduate credits to the graduate transcript upon completion of 12 additional graduate credits. Upon completion of the bachelor&#8217;s degree, students take all graduate courses and will enroll in at least two courses in each of the subsequent semesters until completed. All graduate courses are billed at the graduate tuition rate. Upon successful completion of the remaining graduate credits, the student will be awarded a Master of Science in Data Science and Artificial Intelligence.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Accelerated B.S. to M.S. in Data Science and Artificial Intelligence Program includes an academic path that allows a student to earn a B.S. and a M.S. in Data Science and Artificial Intelligence in five years through the Accelerated Program.
