Online MSc Data Science: career scope and who it's for
Amity's real eligibility only requires a Science background — not CS, math, or statistics specifically, contrary to common assumption.
A genuinely useful, verified fact: Amity's online MSc Data Science requires only a bachelor's degree in any Science discipline — not computer science, mathematics, or statistics specifically, as the common assumption for a data science program would suggest.
Who this actually fits
If your undergraduate degree was in a Science discipline outside CS/math/stats — biology, physics, chemistry — this program's eligibility genuinely doesn't exclude you, though you should honestly assess your own comfort with the technical coursework once enrolled.
