You can pursue a master's degree in applied statistics, computational data science, or mathematics, which has three concentrations:
Each program has its own admissions requirements.
Applications are invited from qualified students with at least a bachelor's degree (or equivalent) from an accredited institution of higher learning in mathematics or in the physical sciences or engineering with a strong mathematics background.
A minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0 is required. The minimal mathematics background includes at least 13 credit hours of mathematics courses beyond the calculus sequence (single and multivariate calculus and differential equations).
Any applicant who has a bachelor's degree (or equivalent) from an accredited institution and shows promise of successfully completing the degree requirements will be considered for admission.
A minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0 is required.
The minimal mathematics background is an undergraduate course sequence in univariate and multivariate calculus (at IU Indianapolis, MATH-I 165, MATH-I 166, MATH-I 171, and MATH-I 261), plus a linear algebra course (at IU Indianapolis, MATH-I 351 or MATH-I 511). Applicants who lack only the algebra course may be admitted conditionally and then must complete such a course as soon as practicable.

A minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0 is required.
The minimal mathematics background includes undergraduate coursework in univariate and multivariate calculus (at IU Indianapolis, MATH-I 165, MATH-I 166, MATH-I 171, and MATH-I 261), differential equations (at IU Indianapolis, MATH-I 266), linear algebra (at IU Indianapolis, MATH-I 351), and abstract algebra (at IU Indianapolis, MATH-I 453).
Applicants must have a four-year bachelor's or equivalent degree in mathematics, statistics, computer science, data science, engineering, or a related field. Interested students with a three-year degree should contact the department for information. The minimal mathematics background is an undergraduate course sequence in univariate and multivariate calculus, plus a linear algebra course. Applicants who lack only the algebra course may be admitted conditionally and then must complete such a course as soon as practicable.
For those candidates who do not have background in the aforementioned fields, case-by case evaluation will follow.
Students will be admitted to the Department Mathematical Sciences if they applied to this department and will be admitted to the Department of Computer and Information Science if they have applied to the Department of Computer and Information Science. The graduate committee of each department will be responsible for evaluating the case-by-case applications.

Note: After admission is granted and prior to course registration, non-native speakers of English may be required to take the English for Academic Purposes (EAP) Placement Test through the IU Indianapolis Testing Center and take supplemental English courses if prescribed based on the results.
This information will be provided in the admission letter sent by the Office of International Affairs, if admission is granted.
U.S. Permanent Residents
Non-native speakers of English who are U.S. permanent residents must demonstrate English proficiency through one of the IU Indianapolis approved options for admission purposes. After admission is granted and prior to course registration, U.S. permanent residents may be required to take the English for Academic Purposes (EAP) Placement Test through the IU Indianapolis Testing Center and take supplemental English courses if prescribed based on the results.
The Graduate Admissions Committee is looking for a statement that outlines your personal and professional goals (300–500 words). This must be uploaded to the online application.
You will be required to upload a current resume or CV in the Program Materials section of the application.
Requests for letters of recommendation are submitted through the online application. You must list three references on your online application with their contact information (valid email address, title, institution, mailing address, and phone number) so that the requests may be sent.
Official transcripts and evidence of degrees awarded from each post-secondary school attended must be sent directly to the department:
Attn: Graduate Admissions CommitteeIf the original documents are not in English, you must submit a certified translation of each official transcript and degree certificate. Notarized copies are NOT acceptable.
If you are requesting a transcript directly from an academic institution, please have the institution submit the official transcript to mathgrad@iu.edu. If you are a student wishing to submit an electronic transcript directly, please submit the transcript through the application system. Do not send emails with attached transcripts.
March 1
November 15 (October 1 for international students)
If you cannot provide all application materials by the deadlines listed above, we encourage you to apply to the Graduate Non-Degree program through the IU Indianapolis Graduate School.
This program will allow you to take courses towards your intended degree program, and you may transfer up to 12 credit hours into the M.S. program, subject to graduate committee approval. Email mathgrad@iu.edu for more information.
If you’re not seeking a degree, but want to take graduate courses in mathematics for personal and professional development or for licensing requirements, you may also receive approval to take courses under this classification.
