Application requirements are as follows:
- A minimum overall GPA of 3.0 in undergraduate coursework and 3.5 in the major.
- A complete online Rowan Global application, including all required documents.
Requirements for Graduation:
In order to graduate from the program with a BS in Physics and MS in Data Science all students must meet the following two requirements:
- Completion of all the requirements for the BS in Physics with 12 semester hours of graduate Data Analytics courses taken by the student in their fourth year to be counted as restricted electives.
- Completion of all requirements for the MS in Data Science including the 4 core courses and a total of 30 credits.
Contingency for Students who do not Complete Master of Science program:
If the student “opts out” before 12 graduate credits have been completed, any remaining credits needed for 120 credits required for the undergraduate degree will be taken at the undergraduate level and selected through consultation between the advisor, the Physics department and the student.
