MS Data Science

MS Data Science

Big data and analytics now drive strategic decision making and innovation whether it is in relation to engineering, finance, health or other professional areas. There is a growing demand for data scientists who can apply powerful tools and advanced statistical modelling techniques to make discoveries about business problems, processes and platforms. Master of Science in Data Science, shall addresses the intersection of three areas driving data science: technologies, analytics and business needs.

The following core courses are recommended to be completed before entering the MS Data Science program.

  1. Programming Fundamentals
  2. Data Structures & Algorithms OR Design & Analysis of Algorithms
  3. Database Systems

A student selected for admission having deficiency in the above stated courses shall be required to study the courses, which must be passed in the first two semesters. Deficiency courses shall be determined by the Departmental Selection Committee, before admitting the student. A student cannot register in MS courses, unless all specified deficiency courses have been passed.

Deficiency course shall be offered with undergraduate students and per credit hour fee of undergraduate program shall be applied.
