The award-winning Data Science Program at the University of Central Florida offers an established educational environment complemented with ongoing industrial collaborations. <a title=\"M.S. Data Mining Track\" href=\"https:\/\/sciences.ucf.edu\/statistics\/graduate\/m-s-data-science-track\/\">More Information<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Master of Science &#8211; Statistics and Data Science<\/h3>\n<p>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. <a title=\"M.S.
