Professional Master of Science in Data Science and Applied Statistics

University of Arizona

The interdisciplinary Professional Master's Program in Data Science and Applied Statistics is designed to target working professionals with strong technical backgrounds who seek to add advanced statistical and data science theory and tools to their arsenal. The interdisciplinary nature of the degree makes it accessible and attractive to prospective students in virtually any industry. The program bridges academics and industry closely, from the curriculum to experiential training to job placement. The core curriculum for the degree has two 3-course sequences, balancing between the foundational theory of data science and industry application tools. The degree requires three additional courses from an area of emphasis - Earth Science or Computational Biology - and completion of a capstone experience. For those whose educational goals are more targeted, completion of any three-course sequences will result in a granting of a graduate certificate.
