Program Description

Dive deeply into the underlying premises of given problems, learn to reformulate the questions, and determine if the results make sense in the Master of Data Science program. Accomplish this by exploring and improving the structure of the available data, creating and evaluating models, and by constructing and testing hypotheses. Learn how to analyze the data, visualize the results, and equally importantly, how articulate their discoveries.

By combining high-level mathematics, statistics, and computer science skills with the ability to communicate results, data scientists make a complicated and dynamic world more comprehensible.

Illinois Tech’s rigorous data science curriculum provides the knowledge, skills, and experience to expand your career opportunities. Whether in Chicago with its diverse economy and thriving tech community or across the globe, our data science alumni have bright futures in the data science profession.

This program has an online option starting in the fall when it is coursework only and there is no practicum. If Math 563 is needed, that course can be offered in a hybrid format.

Program Overview

At Illinois Tech, make sense of data using high-level mathematics, statistics, and computer science, and become skilled at communicating your insights and results. Learn to think about real problems, not just apply tools.
