MS in Data Science - Customized Focus

When you know best: Advance your career with an individualized focus on data science.

University of Connecticut (UConn) MS in Data Science students have the option to work with an advisor to create a customized approach, selecting elective courses (9 credits) that best align with their professional and career goals. 

Paired with 18 universally important core data science courses designed to provide a broad spectrum of skills and knowledge, the 9 credits of elective courses enable students to create a truly interdisciplinary program.
