MA/MS in Data Science

This data science master's is a professional degree preparing students to use current data science methods across commerce, industry, public agencies and healthcare. Students come from many academic and work backgrounds. Faculty bring real-world data into their courses, and sponsored project courses allow students to work directly with corporate partners. Statistical and mathematical foundations are stressed throughout so that students understand how models are built. Capstone options include internships, applied research, faculty research and work in a sponsored data science lab, and the program also emphasizes communicating results professionally. The degree can be taken face-to-face, online or in a hybrid format, with entry in fall, spring or summer. Applicants complete the graduate application, pay the application fee and submit transcripts showing a bachelor's degree from a regionally accredited institution.
