Application Process

Students admitted to the PhD in Big Data Analytics should hold a bachelor鈥檚 degree (master鈥檚 degree preferred) from a regionally accredited institution, in an area relevant to the focus they anticipate pursuing within the PhD program. While a mathematics, statistics, computer science or related degree is not required for admission, students must have had some level of training and/or experience in technology, including areas such as computer programming through data structures, database management systems, linear algebra and networking and graph theory. Each student鈥檚 application will be reviewed by the Doctoral Program Committee to determine their level of technical qualifications to pursue the PhD in Big Data Analytics. If deficiencies are noted, then additional suggested coursework may be required prior to admission.
