Admission planning

A little clarity.
A better next step.

Admission planning

Academic eligibility

  • CGU requires appropriate bachelor's-equivalent academic credentials, transcripts and each programme's supporting materials.
  • Applied Data Science describes a 36-unit in-person degree and a programme-specific application review.
  • GRE submission is optional for the programmes shown, while the Statistics and Machine Learning page recommends it.
  • Check quantitative prerequisites, recommendations and statement requirements on the selected programme rather than treating optional GRE scores as evidence that mathematics preparation is unnecessary.

Admission planning

Language requirements

  • CGU's direct-entry international guidance lists IELTS 7.0 overall with no component below 6.5, or the accepted equivalent evidence.
  • Approved exemptions and the separately described International Scholars pathway have their own conditions.
  • Do not confuse a lower-score pathway with meeting the direct-entry English requirement or assume that any English-medium Indian qualification automatically grants a waiver.

Admission planning

Study intakes

  • Applied Data Science and the IS&T Data Science and Analytics page list spring, summer and fall starts.
  • Statistics and Machine Learning lists spring and fall.
  • Programme availability, full-time course planning and international documentation must be confirmed for the chosen start.

Admission planning

Application deadlines

  • The reviewed programme pages list spring 2027 priority November 1, 2026 and international final November 15, 2026, with classes beginning January 19.
  • Applied Data Science lists summer 2027 international final March 1, 2027 and fall 2027 international final June 1, 2027; their priority date is February 1.
  • A priority date is relevant to funding consideration, not a guaranteed scholarship.

Admission planning

International tuition

  • Student Accounts lists standard 2026–27 tuition of USD 2,070 per unit, covering summer 2026, fall 2026 and spring 2027.
  • An eight-unit semester is USD 16,560 tuition at that rate.
  • Student-services and technology fees, insurance and living costs are extra.
  • Do not use a programme page's older 2025–26 estimate or carry this rate forward as a confirmed fall 2027 price.

Admission planning

Scholarships & funding

  • CGU describes institutional fellowship consideration through the admission application and encourages applying by programme priority dates.
  • International applicants may be considered for eligible institutional awards, but neither admission nor a priority-date application guarantees funding.
  • Ask for the precise award, unit coverage and renewal conditions; federal-aid references do not establish eligibility for every overseas applicant.
