We make our admission process as straightforward and personalized as possible. If you have any questions or need guidance, our counselors and advisers in the School of Computing & Engineering are available to assist you at every stage of your application process.
To qualify for admission into the on-campus MS in Informatics program, a student must:
Have completed a bachelor’s degree from a regionally accredited or equivalent recognized institution
Select a track (Health, Data or Legal) when applying
Interested candidates do not have to have technical training but must possess a passion for information science and motivation to learn technical skills.
A complete application consists of the following:
An application form
$45 application fee
Personal statement
Letter of recommendation
A current resume
Official transcripts of all undergraduate and graduate work completed
Standardized test scores (such as GMAT or GRE) submitted by the students in support of the application also are considered but are not required.
Please note that admission is competitive and that meeting the minimum admission standards does not guarantee acceptance. Applications are considered on a rolling basis, and students may apply to enter during the fall or spring semesters. Candidates are encouraged to submit applications as early as possible to ensure consideration for the semester desired. Applications are evaluated once all materials and the application fee are received by Quinnipiac. Students can expect to receive a decision within 4 weeks of submitting a completed application.
