Data Science Master's Programs with No GRE Requirement

Master's programs in data science whose official admissions information states that the GRE is not required (or is waived). A program that simply does not mention the GRE is not listed here — missing information does not mean no GRE.

Rule: Included only when an official page states the GRE is not required or is waived. This page updates from the directory's verified facts.

School or program keyword

Delivery format

“Fully online” only when the university states no required in-person attendance.

Degree

Degree level

Exact degree

Program classification

Also include degrees with a data science concentration

e.g. a Computer Science degree with an officially named Data Science track. The awarded degree is the related field.

Bachelor's entry route

Only routes the university publishes for the program.

University location

State

City (optional)

Where the university is based — not where you must live, and not proof that residents of that state may enroll.

Institution type

Schedule & length

Study intensity

Online class schedule

Only where the university states it.

Published length

Conditional minimums (“as few as…”) do not count as the program length.

Cost, admissions & funding

Tuition

Estimated total = published per-credit rate × required credits (or a published program total), using the rate for all students or nonresidents. Fees excluded. Programs without comparable data never match. How it works

GRE policy

Missing GRE information never counts as “not required”.

Funding

Assistantships that exist do not make a program fully funded.

Published enrollment restrictions

Programs whose university publishes state authorization or residency restrictions for online students.

Deadline

Order

Unknown never counts as a match: a program without verified tuition is not “under $X”, and unpublished attendance rules are not “fully online”.
