The Engineering Science MS with a focus in Data Science provides students with a core foundation in big data and analysis by obtaining knowledge, expertise, and training in data collection and management, data analytics, scalable data-driven discovery, and fundamental concepts. The program is designed for students with engineering, natural science, or mathematical science backgrounds. About the Program Admissions Requirements Degree Program Specifics Course Requirements What Students Are Saying About the Program This applied program trains students in the emerging and high demand area of data and computing sciences. Many surveys of employment have highlighted the great need for trained professionals in these areas, estimating deficits of personnel availability in the US at as high as 150,000 a year. Students are trained in sound basic theory with an emphasis on practical aspects of data, computing and analysis. Graduates will be able to serve the analytics needs of employers and will be exposed to several areas of application. The degree can be specialized using electives and a project. Classes will be modestly sized and emphasize best classroom practices while employing online resources to reinforce the classroom experience. Students in this program will need some prior knowledge of mathematics, statistics and computing (commensurate with that from an engineering/natural science/math undergraduate program, see the entrance requirements below for details). The program can be completed in one calendar year of study.
