Data Science: Master of Science
*Part of this program is pending approval*
The M.S. in Data Science program will train students in the methods and applications of data science, an interdisciplinary field that involves mathematics, computer science, statistics, and information science, and prepare students to meet the fast- growing need for highly qualified personnel in the fields of data science and artificial intelligence. The program will develop a broad academic and practical literacy in the required areas, so that students are able to critically select and apply appropriate methods and techniques to extract relevant and important information from data. It will provide strong core training so that graduates can adapt easily to changes and new demands from industry and enable students to understand not only how to apply certain methods, but when and why they are appropriate.
Program length: 24 months (based on full-time enrollment)
