Given the nature of the MMA program, degrees in Computer Science, Statistics, Mathematics, Engineering, Physical Science, Economics, and Commerce will be preferred, but degrees from any program where there is a significant quantitative and computational component will be considered.
Evidence of a high level of proficiency (a minimum B average) in quantitative subjects is required. Mastery of mathematics is essential including, at a minimum, calculus and linear algebra, as are courses covering probability and statistics. In cases where evidence of quantitative proficiency is not obvious, applicants must provide supplemental evidence.
Demonstrated proficiency in computer programming. This may be demonstrated through a minimum B average in one or more courses in computer science or in courses relying extensively on computer programming. In cases where evidence of computational proficiency is not obvious, applicants must provide supplemental evidence.
