Overview

Educating The Next Generation Of Data Scientists

The Master of Science in Data Science is a highly-selective program for students with a strong background in mathematics, computer science, and applied statistics. The degree focuses on the development of new methods for data science.

Our networked world is generating a deluge of data that no human, or group of humans, can process fast enough. This data deluge has the potential to transform the way business, government, science, and healthcare are carried out. But too few possess the skills needed to use automated analytical tools and cut through the noise to create knowledge from big data.

We’re excited to launch the CDS Pathbreaker Scholarship. We are committed to fostering diversity and innovation in the field of data science, and to support this mission, we’re offering scholarships for 6 incoming Fall 2024 MS students that cover half the tuition for our Master’s of Science in Data Science degree. That’s 18 points of tuition and fees support.

Developed in collaboration with our DEI Committee, the scholarship’s aim is to support talented students who may not have previously had the opportunity to pursue a graduate degree.

Students need only to apply for the CDS MS program and will automatically be considered for the scholarship. While not mandatory, we encourage applicants who believe they qualify for the Pathbreaker to highlight their experiences in the personal statement section of the MS application.
