The University of San Diego (USD) has introduced a suite of online, industry-aligned Master’s degree programs in technology, specifically for working professionals in India. These programs are identical to the on-campus offerings in the U.S. and confer the same U.S.-accredited degree upon completion.
The online programs include: MS in Applied Artificial Intelligence, MS in Applied Data Science, MS in Cyber Security Engineering, and MS in Cyber Security Operations and Leadership. Each program is delivered asynchronously over 20 months, allowing students to study without pausing their careers.
Students have the option to participate in a two-week on-campus immersion in the U.S. and gain access to USD’s alumni network. Mentorship opportunities are available through former students working in leading organisations. Masterclasses led by global industry leaders in AI, Data Science, and Cybersecurity are also part of the offering.
GradRight has been appointed as the official outreach and student access partner in India. It provides end-to-end admission guidance and support for prospective students. The total cost of the program is approximately ₹10.49 lakhs, with scholarships available to eligible candidates to increase affordability.
Admission for the Fall 2025 intake is open until August 1, 2025, with classes beginning on September 2, 2025. The medium of instruction is English. Applicants must demonstrate English proficiency through an IELTS score of 7, a Duolingo score of 120, or proof of two years of study in English. Candidates must hold either a four-year degree with at least a Second Division or a three-year degree with a First Division to be eligible.
