The requirements for admission depend on which of our educational offerings you wish to apply for.

If you are interested in our Master of Science in Financial Engineering (MScFE) degree program, you must have completed a 4-year bachelor’s degree, earn a passing grade (75% or higher) on our Quantitative Proficiency Test, and submit proof of your English proficiency unless you have graduated from a college or university where English is the language of instruction. You will also need to submit supporting documentation such as a scanned copy of your transcript and your government-issued photo ID.

To join our Applied Data Science Lab, you must sign up, create a profile, and earn a passing grade on the Admissions Quiz (66%). Before you apply, we recommend that you familiarize yourself with programming fundamentals, basic statistics, linear algebra, and calculus.

Our application process is fully online and easy to follow. To start an application for either program, visit learn.wqu.edu to create an account.
