Description
Return to: Academic Departments 5 year multi-award degree program that allows students to get both a Bachelors in Computer Information Systems and a Masters in Data Science. Students apply during their undergraduate studies and if accepted begin taking graduate courses the first semester of their 4th year. In Computer Science and Information Systems undergraduate BS degree, students will learn and apply Algorithms, Optimization, and Software Development strategies in the contexts of Artificial Intelligence, Machine learning, Network and Web Technologies, and Data Management. The degree culminates in a System Design capstone project equipping students with the computer science skills they need to work on complex real world projects. The 36-credit interdisciplinary Data Science Master’s Degree provides a strong background in data science methodologies. The program has strong emphasis on the areas of programming, data management, data mining, machine learning and statistics. The degree culminates in a course in project management, a real world internship experience and a two-semester capstone Data Science Project.

The degree culminates in a course in project management, a real-world internship experience and a two-semester capstone Data Science Project. Data science technologies have completely changed the way businesses plan and manage their operations. We see it in our everyday life, from recommender systems to large language models and natural language processing. And data science is behind the framework of decisions we do not see, such as managing large government entities, business intelligence, healthcare and educational management. We even see it in sports and entertainment. Graduates will be prepared to participate in this fast-arriving new world. For a student to apply to the program the student would fill out the change of major form in the portal. This would initiate the process. Admittance to the program requires a minimum of a 3.0 GPA and a minimum of a 3.0 GPA in Computer Science and Mathematics classes that count towards the major. Candidates submit an application that includes an essay. After receipt of the request through the portal form, and receipt of the essay and any test scores a committee (including the Graduate Director) will review the applications. To remain in the program, the student should maintain a GPA of 3.0 in the major.
