The program provides the specialized education in data science to leverage emerging data science technologies for the generation of insights and solutions to challenges organizations face in rapidly changing business and policy environments. Graduating students will learn both the theoretical and applied perspectives of data science technologies and be knowledgeable in their stream subject. They will be effective communicators, able to effectively participate with others in data science projects and conscious of the ethical and social responsibilities of data science. They will not only master the hands-on skills necessary for initial employment, but also become able, creative, curious, entrepreneurial thinkers who can thoughtfully contribute to a world of rapid technological change. A key component of the program is the integration of the acquired knowledge through a capstone experiential learning project in the 4th year”.
