在计算机科学与统计学院的联合学术领导下，并通过应用计算科学研究所（IACS）进行管理，这个为期三个学期的硕士课程将培训快速发展的数据科学领域的学生。数据科学位于统计方法论，计算科学和广泛的应用领域的交汇处。该计划为统计建模，机器学习，优化，海量数据集的管理和分析以及数据采集提供了强大的准备。该计划的重点是可重现的数据分析，协作问题解决，可视化和通信以及数据科学中出现的安全性和道德问题等主题。
The Data Science master's program, jointly led by the Computer Science and Statistics faculties and administered through the Institute for Applied Computational Science (IACS), trains students in the rapidly growing field of data science. Data Science lies at the intersection of statistical methodology, computational science, and a wide range of application domains. The program offers strong preparation in statistical modeling, machine learning, optimization, management and analysis of massive data sets, and data acquisition. The program focuses on topics such as reproducible data analysis, collaborative problem solving, visualization and communication, and security and ethical issues that arise in data science. To earn the Master of Science in Data Science, students must complete 12 courses. This requires students to be on campus for at least 3 semesters (one and a half academic years). Some students will choose to extend their studies for a fourth semester to take additional courses or complete a master's thesis research project.
