数据科学(MS) – STEM Designated Degree Program
今天，我们生活在大数据时代, 和 professionals across industries as well as the educated citizenry have a need to underst和 和 gain insights from the massive amount of data generated from various sources, 包括科学, 卫生保健, 教育, 社交媒体, 和 governmental 和 non-governmental organizations. With broad knowledge of the explosion of big data, people with competency in computer science who are interested in the science of 和 behind big data are seeking out training that will enable them to develop expertise in underst和ing 和 analyzing big data, capable of being creators as well as users of data mining/analytics tools. It is this population the MS in Data Science intends to serve.
The primary mission of this degree is to train students in core Data Science competencies 和 expose students to a broad range of Data Science related topics 和 applications, preparing them to be part of the next generation Data Science workforce. 除了, students will have a unique opportunity to conduct research in Data Science investigations. The MS degree in Data Science combines the fundamentals of Data Science, with options for students to choose a domain area relating to Data Science.
The dem和 for data scientists 和 engineers is growing tremendously. 例如, the job title “Data Scientist” topped Glassdoor’s 50 Best Jobs in America for the second consecutive year in 2017. Also, the job titles “Data Engineer” 和 “Analytics Manager” both cracked the top five. A recent study co-authored by IBM projects that the dem和 for data scientists 和 data engineers will grow 39 percent by 2020, when the number of annual job openings for data professionals reaches 2.7200万年. 该研究进一步指出:
- Annual dem和 for data-driven decision makers, which comprise one-third of the data savvy professional job market, 预计会增加110,到2020年将有000个职位空缺.
- Annual dem和 for the fast-growing new roles of data scientist, 数据开发人员, 数据工程师将达到近700人,到2020年将有000个职位空缺.
还有数据科学(MS)学位, the Computer Science department also offers the following options for graduate study: 计算机科学(MS), 计算机科学(学士/硕士合并), 计算机技术(证书), 计算语言学(MS), 网络安全(女士), 资讯科技(MS) 和 Information Technology, Applied Information Technology Concentration (Online PSM Program).
请参阅我们的 学习计划 page for a comprehensive list of all of the graduate programs offered within the university.
Students should have completed a minimum of 15 undergraduate credits in Computer Science including foundational courses in computer programming, 数据结构和算法, computer organization 和 discrete mathematics. If an applicant does not have such a background, the Computer Science Graduate Committee will assign up to four existing additional preparatory courses aimed to providing the student with the minimum background necessary to fully enter the program.
