The Department of Data and Decision Sciences
Learn how our program uniquely combines the worlds of data, description, and discovery!
Data
The DATASCI MS teaches the tools of theoretically informed measurement and inference developed in statistics and related fields, emphasizing both the potential and the limitations of all tools.
Description
The DATASCI MS focuses on the rhetoric of data science to teach students how to communicate their findings effectively through research design.
Discovery
The DATASCI MS addresses the nuances within data science by teaching students how to frame the questions they want to ask of data and advocate for the right approach to help business, government, and non-profit sectors understand their impact.

Graduate Overview
The future is in collecting, analyzing, and communicating data with impact. The Department of Data and Decision Sciences (𝔻Sci) is committed to teaching students how to use data and AI to answer questions and solve problems in applied fields—from business and healthcare to academic research.
We offer a 12-month, in-person, STEM-designated Master’s in Data Science program, taught entirely by full-time faculty with expertise in all aspects of data science. Uniquely, our faculty represent a range of academic disciplines and interests, from statistics and computer science to the social and health sciences to the digital humanities.
Our curriculum focuses on three pillars of data science projects: gathering data, analyzing data, and making decisions and communicating results. You’ll take courses on advanced statistical modeling and contemporary data science topics and trends, statistical computing and AI-augmented programming, and rigorous instruction on study design, causal reasoning, and inference. You’ll enjoy ample hands-on practice using real-world data and work with community partners. Finally, you’ll cover theory and best practices on communicating your results with impact, be this through writing, data visualization, or public speaking. The program culminates in a Capstone Research Project that will be co-taught by two of the faculty. Teams of students work with community partners to produce solutions to real data-centered issues.
