Admission essentials

Your admission checklist.

Explore one topic at a time, with the details kept together.

Admission planning

A little clarity.
A better next step.

Admission planning

Academic eligibility

  • The CS department expects a recognised four-year bachelor's degree and appropriate computing and mathematics preparation.
  • Its published GPA guidance specifies 3.0 overall and 3.2 in the major, and its application includes three recommendations; GRE scores are optional.
  • Data Science has a separate admissions and degree-information page.
  • The combined 4+1 bachelor's/MSDS route is for eligible current Delaware undergraduates, not a one-year conversion route available automatically to an overseas graduate.

Admission planning

Language requirements

  • The CS admissions page lists IELTS 6.5 for admission and a higher IELTS requirement for teaching-assistant consideration.
  • Meeting the degree's admission threshold therefore does not establish eligibility for a teaching role.
  • Data Science directs international applicants to its own English-evidence rules; exemptions and current test versions must be checked for the selected programme.

Admission planning

Study intakes

  • Computer Science lists fall and spring entry.
  • Data Science admits for fall only, and its FAQ says reviews begin in November.
  • Do not infer that a spring CS opening also applies to the interdisciplinary MSDS.

Admission planning

Application deadlines

  • The CS graduate listing publishes recurring January 31 priority/August 18 final dates for fall and October 31 priority/January 26 final dates for spring.
  • The MSDS FAQ instead gives February 1 for the following fall and warns that capacity may fill earlier.
  • These are recurring schedules rather than explicitly verified 2027 calls; confirm the next cycle and visa-document timing with the relevant programme.

Admission planning

International tuition

  • Programme-specific 2026–27 pages list CS MS tuition at USD 1,510 per credit and Data Science MS tuition at USD 1,149 per credit.
  • The rates must not be swapped or replaced by the university's non-degree graduate rate.
  • Mandatory fees, living costs and future-year increases are separate; request an offer-specific total for the chosen credit plan.

Admission planning

Scholarships & funding

  • Do not assume that research-PhD funding is available for a coursework master's.
  • The MSDS programme policy states that it does not offer stipends or tuition aid.
  • Its FAQ's FAFSA reference is not evidence that every international applicant qualifies for US federal aid.
  • Ask CS separately about any limited departmental award and require written confirmation before reducing your budget.
