About
Data science is a cross between computer science and statistics, and it involves data-driven knowledge discovery in terms of pattern analysis and prediction.
In the M.S. in Computational Data Science program, you'll study statistics, regression, sequence analysis, machine learning, data mining, and data analysis (like database systems, information visualization, and “big data” analytics).
Students graduate from this program ready to enter the workforce in the rapidly advancing field of data science, an interdisciplinary domain that cuts across computer science and statistics. You'll gain the skills necessary to ensure you are competitive in today's job market by gaining an understanding of theory, implementation (e.g., algorithms and appropriate computing languages), and the inherent nature of different data modalities, such as classification and prediction challenges on specific data (e.g., sparse and/or incomplete data).
