Master of Science – Data Science Track

Data mining is the process of exploration and analysis of large quantities of observational data in order to discover meaningful patterns and models. The award-winning Data Science Program at the University of Central Florida offers an established educational environment complemented with ongoing industrial collaborations. More Information

Master of Science – Statistics and Data Science

The Master of Science degree program in Statistics and Data Science provides a sound foundation in statistical theory, statistical methods, and in the application of computer methodology to statistical analyses. Statistical methods are commonly developed in a particular context but find successful adaptation in completely different settings. Statisticians require a strong background in mathematics and increasingly in computer science. Many statisticians pursue parallel formal studies in a field of application while others develop discipline specific expertise through collaborations. More Information
