SUNY Poly's international graduate directory identifies F-1-supported routes including Computer Science, Cybersecurity and Data Science + Analytics. Their academic prerequisites differ. Undergraduate first-year, transfer and graduate applicants also have different intake and English policies, so a spring graduate option should not be assumed to admit new first-year undergraduates.

Selected programme examples

  1. Computer Science MS — F-1-supported graduate directory
  2. Cybersecurity MS — directory identifies fall semester
  3. Data Science + Analytics MS — graduate

Admission planning

A little clarity.
A better next step.

Admission planning

Academic eligibility

  • First-year applicants generally need a high-school average of at least 85% by US standards, with English records or professional translation.
  • The CS MS expects a CS/information-systems bachelor's and calculus, discrete mathematics and probability; its guideline is a US B/3.0 equivalent, with case-by-case prerequisite assessment and GRE optional.
  • Other master's prerequisites differ.

Admission planning

Language requirements

  • Undergraduate minimum examples are IELTS 6.0, TOEFL 4 on the 0–6 scale, PTE 53 or DET 105.
  • Graduate minimums include IELTS 6.5, TOEFL 4, PTE 53 or DET 105.
  • Qualifying exemptions have conditions; the undergraduate IELTS score is not the graduate IELTS requirement.

Admission planning

Study intakes

  • International first-year undergraduate entry is fall (August); spring (January) undergraduate entry is listed for transfers only.
  • Graduate applications have fall and spring routes, but individual degrees can restrict entry—for example, the international directory marks Cybersecurity MS as fall semester.

Admission planning

Application deadlines

  • Undergraduate first-year Early Action submission is November 15, with completion December 1; regular admission has February 1 priority and July 15 submission/July 20 completion.
  • Graduate application dates are July 1 for fall and November 1 for spring.
  • Confirm the intended year and programme; admission can close early.

Admission planning

International tuition

  • For 2026–27, the full-year on-campus F-1 undergraduate estimate lists USD 19,660 tuition, USD 1,555 fees and a USD 44,531.37 total budget.
  • The corresponding F-1 graduate estimate lists USD 18,738 tuition, USD 1,160 fees and USD 42,714.37 total.
  • Both are fall-and-spring attendance estimates including housing, insurance and indirect costs, rather than fixed whole-degree prices; confirm the selected programme's charges.

Admission planning

Scholarships & funding

  • High-achieving international first-year applicants receive merit consideration through the completed admission application, with no extra application required.
  • Awards can renew for up to eight full-time undergraduate semesters if eligibility is maintained.
  • Transfer awards and graduate funding have separate rules; no automatic master's award is established here.
