Master of Science in Applied Data Science

All students who accept our offer of admission have virtual sessions with us the summer prior to starting the program. We will answer your questions, discuss the curriculum, and provide you with the tools needed for success in the courses. We will also answer your questions about life at Carnegie Mellon and life in Pittsburgh. Most importantly, the cohort is introduced to each other

You will receive instruction from world-class faculty. MADS has an intentionally small cohort so that we can focus on YOU. By delivering a hands-on experience, we are invested in your success. For 9 months, we work with you to learn your career interests, help you navigate the career path, and make sure that you receive any resources that you need. Simply put, we set you up for success. With the exception of your electives, you will take classes exclusively with your cohort. This allows you to bond as classmates and future colleagues.

Once you graduate from the program, you transition to one of our distinguished alumni. If you choose, we continue to keep you informed about opportunities to connect with future MADS students, department and program updates, and career opportunities.
