The amount of digital data created globally doubles every two years, and the impact of generative artificial intelligence accelerates this trend. Many organizations lack the ability to properly understand and analyze data or apply findings for meaningful change. Data Scientists are critical in every field and every organization to enable thoughtful, multifaceted data analysis and then convey meaning and value to stakeholders.
The Utica University MS in Data Science (MSDS) is designed for professionals looking to further their education and advance their careers in various industries. Offered in person on campus, this program allows students to build knowledge and skills with a contemporary, integrated core education focused on real-world applications. In Utica University’s MSDS program, students learn more than how to analyze data; they learn how to think about data and analytical findings in the larger context.
This 30-credit-hour program requires the student to complete fifteen (15) credit hours in the data science core and nine (9) credits of upper-level electives focused on data engineering in the cloud, generative AI, and deep learning. Students conclude with a three (3) credit practical experience and a three (3) credit masters capstone project.
Graduates from this program will be able to:
1. Identify appropriate methods for data analysis.
2. Apply relevant quantitative and qualitative analysis techniques.
3. Access and process secondary data sources.
4. Interpret, communicate, and apply findings.
5. Evaluate data science regarding ethics, social responsibility, and bias.
