The Master of Professional Studies (MPS) in Data Science program prepares students from a wide range of disciplinary backgrounds for careers in data science. In the core courses, students get a fundamental understanding of data science through classes that highlight machine learning, data analysis and data management. The core courses also introduce students to ethical and legal implications surrounding data science. Beyond the core courses, students take three courses in domain specific pathways developed in collaboration with academic departments across the university. Through these pathways, students utilize the skills and techniques they learned in the core courses within their own field or area of expertise.
