Welcome to the NEW 

Professional Master's Degree in

 Data Science & Applied Statistics! 

The Departments of Mathematics and Computer Science are partnering to offer this new Professional Master’s Degree Program.  The first cohort will start with the Fall 2025 semester. 

 

Professional Master’s Degrees differ from traditional Master’s Degrees in several ways. They are specifically designed for those presently in the workforce who look to advance and modernized their skills in data science. The course selection is more focused and the courses themselves are more structured consisting of core modules and assessed through individual and group projects, presentations, and exams. Like many professional master’s degrees, the DS&AS program has a capstone experience, e.g., a long writing product or an internship of an applied nature.

 The design of this program allows for both a rapid completion  to the master’s degree and the ability to advance by taking one course at a time. The curriculum is separated into smaller pieces consisting of a three-course sequence. Each of these sequences results in a graduate certificate.
