Master of Data Science Program

Data science has quickly become a critical enabling capability across science, healthcare, energy, manufacturing and beyond. As data reshapes these fields, they need a new kind of scientist: someone who isn’t just a statistician, computer scientist or mathematician, but who understands how all three apply to the study of data.

Rice’s Master of Data Science (MDS) is designed to support the needs of interdisciplinary professionals pursuing a technical career in data science.

Rice University’s Master of Data Science program is designed to support the needs of interdisciplinary professionals. Students work directly with world-class faculty across computer science, statistics and data science, and graduate with the skills to move data science expertise into any industry. The program offers students online or on-campus options with a curriculum built to develop the skills needed to collect, evaluate, interpret and communicate data. Students must apply to either the online or on-campus program and will be explicitly admitted to one program or the other.
