Understanding of these concepts can be demonstrated by a combination of the following:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Taking these courses. In case that your background or education have not provided you with fundamental concepts needed to success in the MSDA, the program coordinator will help you put together a plan of study to take few undergraduate courses in order to succeed in the MSDA program; OR<\/li>\n
  2. Convincing the program director that the student work experience covers these materials. Your work experience should be clearly noted in your resume and you may be asked to clarify or expand on your work experience in your interview; OR<\/li>\n
  3. Having taken these courses at UCF or equivalent courses at another institution as demonstrated by your transcripts; OR<\/li>\n
  4. At the recommendation of the program director, taking the Statistics Bridge Course, the Computer Science Bridge Course or both. Students that need a short refresher in fundamentals can be conditionally accepted in the program pending taking and approving one or both of the Bridge courses. For example, if a student has taken statistics classes many years ago and in his professional work experience the student has not been involved in statistics, then the student may be required to take the Bridge course in statistics as a condition to be admitted in the MSDA.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"tags":[6203],"class_list":["post-33495","faq","type-faq","status-publish","hentry","tag-msda-admissions","topic-msda"],"yoast_head":"\nHow can I demonstrate \u201cworking knowledge of fundamental concepts\u201d? | UCF Online<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Understanding of these concepts can be demonstrated by a combination of the following: Taking these courses.
