MS in Data Science & Engineering-Data Science track

Data science is a multidisciplinary approach to extracting information from the large and ever-increasing volumes of data collected and created by today’s organizations. Data science encompasses preparing data for analysis and processing, performing advanced data analysis, and presenting the results to reveal patterns to draw informed conclusions. 

Data science continues to evolve as one of the most promising and in-demand career paths for skilled professionals. Today, successful data professionals understand that they must advance past the traditional skills of analyzing large amounts of data, data mining, and programming skills. In order to uncover useful intelligence for their organizations, data scientists must master the full spectrum of the data science life cycle and possess a level of flexibility and understanding to maximize returns at each phase of the process. Auburn currently offers a MS in Data Science and Engineering and an Accelerated MS degree for undergraduate students. A graduate certification is upcoming for Auburn graduate students. Details on all these degrees are outlined on the website.
