Program details
Overview
This program leads to a Master of Science in Data Science and Analytics, offered fully virtually or through a mix of virtual and in-person courses on the Toronto campus. Students choose between a thesis option, completed over two years full-time, or a major research project option, completed in one year full-time or two years part-time. The curriculum builds interdisciplinary competency across machine learning, statistics, programming, operations research, and mathematics, with courses such as Advanced Data Visualization, Bayesian Statistics and Machine Learning, Data Mining and Prescriptive Analysis, and Natural Language Processing. Admission requires a four-year undergraduate degree in engineering, science, business, economics, or a related field, a minimum 3.00/4.33 GPA, and prerequisite coursework in statistics, data structures, databases, and the R programming language. The program suits students seeking applied, technically grounded data science training, and prepares graduates to pursue careers as data scientists in industry, government, or research.
Requirements
Minimum GPA:3.00 / 4.33
Admission Requirements: Completion of a four-year undergraduate (or equivalent) degree from an accredited institution in engineering, science, business, economics or a related discipline, with a minimum grade point average (GPA) or equivalent of 3.00/4.33 (B) in the last two years of study. Applicants submit a statement of interest, resume/CV, transcripts and two letters of recommendation, and must show proof of English language proficiency. Prerequisite coursework in statistics, data structures and algorithms, databases, and R software packages is also required.
Application Details
Application Deadline:Toronto Metropolitan University sets one guaranteed-consideration date for both domestic and international applicants applying for Fall 2027 entry: complete applications and amendments received by 1 February 2027 receive equal consideration for admission, and TMU says this same date applies to 'all domestic & international applicants.' Non-academic ('Grades-Plus') requirements are generally due around this point too, though the exact date varies by programme. For Winter 2027 (January-start) entry, TMU's program-status page gives domestic applicants a guaranteed-consideration date of 1 December 2026, with most programmes closing applications in mid-December; a limited number of programmes separately accept international applications for winter admission subject to space availability, but TMU publishes no fixed closing date for those international winter applicants. Admission is not rolling: late applications are considered only as space allows after the guaranteed-consideration date. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
