数据科学理学硕士

数据科学理学硕士课程为研究生准备大数据领域的专业职业。学生将具备数据科学和分析的基础知识和技能，包括：机器学习，海量数据集的建模和定量分析，此类技术在战略决策中的应用，收集和管理海量数据集的关键技能以及高效实施使用最合适的算法技术和可用的软件开发工具解决现实世界中大数据问题的解决方案。MS课程包括30个学分，其中包括4个广度要求课程。提供论文（CS课程工作24学分，论文研究6学分）和非论文选修（CS课程工作30学分）。典型的全日制学生可以在一年半到两年内完成该MS计划的要求。如果您在夏季修满课程，则可以在
As a data scientist, you'll be using math, statistics, and programming skills to organize information and help businesses find solutions. Earning a master's in data science can help prepare you for a career as a software engineer, systems analyst, database administrator, research analyst, and more.<br><br>To help you be more successful in your career, we want your education to be well-rounded. That's why every one of your classes will teach you about one of these categories: data analytics, cyber security, high-performance computing, and digital forensics. In addition to your core courses of Machine Learning, Foundation of Data Science, Advanced Algorithms and Applications, and either Database Application Development or Database Systems, you'll take electives such as Artificial Intelligence, Data Mining, Deep Learning, Modern Cryptography, Cloud Computing, and Digital Media Forensics. You'll also take electives outside our departmentclasses like Data Science for Business, Introduction to Bioinformatics, and others. Finally, we'll want you to choose between one of two plans. Plan I (thesis option), is better if you're considering going for a doctorate degree. If your goal is simply professional development, you'd probably prefer Plan II (non-thesis option).<br><br>The M.S. program consists of 30 credit hours including four breadth-requirement courses. Thesis (24 credit hours of CS course work plus 6 credit hours of Thesis Research) and non-thesis options (30 credit hours of CS course work) are available.<br><br>A typical full-time student may complete the requirements of this M.S. program in one-and-a-half to two years. If you take a full course load in Summer, you may complete the degree requirements in three semesters (within 12 months). Many of our graduate courses are offered during the evening and some are offered online, which benefits our part-time working students.
