DATA SCIENCE

The mission of the Master of Science in Data Science is to provide students with the interdisciplinary skills necessary to analyze and extract insights from data of all types. In addition to honing their general problem solving, critical thinking, and quantitative reasoning skills, students develop their programming, mathematical, and statistical prowess, applying these to data-centric problems within a domain of their choice.  A concentration of support courses in business analytics, bioinformatics, or geographic information systems allow students to apply these skills to their domain of interest.
