Entry requirements

The published graduate admission minimum is GPA 3.00/4.00. A bachelor’s background in computer science, data science, statistics, mathematics, natural sciences, engineering, applied sciences or social sciences is listed, with a strong mathematics background, calculus and at least one programming language. Prepare a personal statement, three recommendations and transcripts with an official English translation where applicable. Unofficial transcripts may support initial review; final official degree-conferral records must later come directly from the institution or an approved agency. The page lists AMS and Data Science MS GRE waivers only for Fall 2026; confirm the rule for your intended intake. Where an English test is required, the Master’s TOEFL iBT reference is 80 for tests before 21 January 2026 and 4.5 for tests after that date; the page leaves the boundary date unclear, so confirm your test date and scale. IELTS overall 6.5 is listed, with no subsection recommended below 6, or Gateway 495. Exemption routes include prior qualifications taught primarily in English, US citizenship/nationality/permanent residence or prior teaching-assistant service at an English-medium institution; confirm your documentary eligibility. Visa-requiring international entrants must provide an apostilled highest-degree diploma for the university’s Certificate of Admission process; this does not guarantee a visa. Within the two electives, the capstone is either 3 credits of AMS 585 internship or 6 credits of AMS 585 as a faculty-mentored master’s thesis. Internship timing may be the third semester or the summer between semesters two and three, with or without an industrial sponsor; a placement is not guaranteed. Relevant course substitutions require the programme director and instructor’s approval.

Course fees

Application charge: KRW 120,000, or the alternative dollar-payment amount listed as $100. These are alternative amounts, not two charges; confirm the dollar currency and accepted payment route. Request a current itemised tuition invoice: the school’s full-time graduate tuition table has a Fall 2026 heading but a Spring 2025 caption, with separate non-NYS and NY State resident columns. Its dollar currency, applicable period and your residency category need confirmation. Course/class-specific charges are excluded and housing is separate. Follow your own billing notice for payment dates; no annual, net or guaranteed funded price is inferred.

Intake

The admissions page lists recurring Fall 1 June and Spring 1 December deadlines without a year or time zone. Confirm the current cycle, programme availability and international-document timing before applying; an open intake is not established here.
