Admission into the MIS program is a competitive process. Minimum requirements for an application to be considered are:
- the graduate application form for the University of Colorado Denver;
- a statement of purpose detailing why the student wishes to be admitted to the program, his or her primary area of interest, and how the program helps advance his or her career goals;
- transcripts from all institutions of higher learning attended by the candidate;
- a Bachelor's degree from an accredited college or university;
- 40 hours of undergraduate work in science, math, and/or computer science;

Possessing the minimum requirements will guarantee that the application is considered. It does not, however, guarantee admission. The admissions committee will select students competitively to create a high quality and balanced cohort of participants entering the program each year.
