Pingback: Graduate Programs in Big Data and Data Science | What's The Big Data?
Also, please see the Information School at UC Berkeley: http://www.ischool.berkeley.edu/
The courses included many Big Data science courses. The computer science department also has a few Data Mining / Machine Learning / Data Science classes that are worth mentioning.
OK, thanks. I have added it.
iSchool @ Syracuse University offers their program completely online
Do they also offer an on-campus option?
Hi,
I’m confounded by the title of this post. The post is edifying, even a saviour for a person scouring the web for info on degrees germane, however there seems to be a discrepancy between data science and analytics.
http://www.informationweek.com/software/business-intelligence/can-analytics-degree-bridge-the-business/240006245
This article mentions the discrepancy.
Furthermore I’d like to say, I’m just a dilettante; I could be wrong.
Can you please Explain the difference between the two, if there is any.
I think there is large debate about the difference, but I would agree with the article. Data Science seems to come more from the computer science side and analytics appears to come from a business focus.
Which one of these, a full time graduate degree, would be suitable for a CS undergrad?
Palak,
I would say most of the M.S. programs above would be suitable for a person with a B.S. in computer science. It is important to note that most data science/analytics degrees are going to have some level of business courses involved. That said, the North Carolina State program has been around for a few years. Plus, I think the Stevens program would be a good fit too. If you are interested in a PhD, Berkeley has a lot of good research going on in the area.
Good Luck.
Due to the lack of business & statistics background, I’m looking for one which runs for a duration of about 15-20 months.
Having gone through each and every one in the post, to me, Northwestern has the most appealing curriculum. However, its tuition is overwhelming.
I visited the webpages listing the student profiles at NCSU and other M.S.A. degree programs, what I noticed is that most of the students already have some concrete experience &/or a solid math/stat background. I, on the other hand, possess none.
I’ll, surely, look into Stevens’ curriculum, but doesn’t Cincinnati offer a similar curriculum?
Slight tangent, I have a BA in economics, advanced in Stata and have a decent background in math but have no CS experience. I’m more interested on the business side of data. Any recommendations on the type of programs I should look into to learn data science? My original plan was to do JC and coursera courses
Are you looking to go back to school for a bachelors/masters or just learn some extra skills? I would say learning a bit of computer programming would be beneficial for anyone wanting to get into data science.
Definitely not trying to do another bachelor’s, I’m trying gain sufficient knowledge to comfortably move into a business role in tech companies, then hopefully do a grad program after I have have a few more years of experience
BIDA @ CMU
got a link?
http://www.heinz.cmu.edu/school-of-information-systems-and-management/information-systems-management-mism/business-intelligence-data-analytics/index.aspx
Got it. Thanks. I added it to the list.
It’s not all about business!
Some of the posts align data science and analytics with business applications. It’s important to keep in mind that scientists and researchers of all stripes are using statistical approaches, optimization, clustering, outlier detection and data cleansing methods, etc., not just analysts in the business world. In fact, some of the most sophisticated models come from outside of business. And, don’t forget the importance of analytics for finding features in non-structured data, such as images, text, 3-D models and simulations, etc. The large scope for data science and analytics was recently explored in a workshop: http://www.radcliffe.harvard.edu/exploratory-seminars/new-multidisciplinary-approach-data-understanding
Thanks for the great comment.
Pingback: Data Science: It’s Not All About Business | Data Science 101
http://web.ccsu.edu/datamining/
Thanks Jim, I added to the list.
Hey Ryan do you think for a B.Tech (Bachelor of Technology) grad in Computer Science with work experience (ERP systems and Exposure of BI) of almost 2 years which MS in BA is more suitable -10 months FT (Full-Time) or >15 months FT.
That is a good question. I think some of the shorter 9-10 month masters degree programs are geared toward highly experienced business professionals. With only 2 years of experience, I am not sure you fit the “highly experienced” category. I would suggest a longer program for you, but that is just my opinion.
Don’t mean to intrude, I’m from a similar background with less work exp.
Ryan is right, 2 year program would be better. If you observe the student profiles of such programs, you’ll find experienced professionals or freshers with a math/stat bachelors.
I’m looking for a program with a longer duration too. CMU’s BIDA is the only one I could find. Hope it helps.
Thanks Ryan & Palak..
If you guys can give me info on universities which are offering greater than 15 months Full-Time course that will be of great help. As the course is new, there are some handful of universities and in them I am confused regarding which are the ones to go for. Moreover will it be a good option to go for universities that are not highly ranked but have introduced MS in BA.
The list above contains some good options. Here is another link to a similar list. http://whatsthebigdata.com/2012/04/12/graduate-programs-in-big-data-analyticsdata-science/
Steven’s looks to have a good program for you. http://www.stevens.edu/howe/academics/graduate/business-intelligence-analytics-bi-ms
Plus NYU would be a good option since New York has a lot of companies focusing on data currently. http://www.stern.nyu.edu/programs-admissions/global-degrees/business-analytics/index.htm
Ryan, Steven’s has 15 month program. Do you reckon it’s sufficiently long?
Look at it this way. Consider you join a traditional M.S. program which is 21 months because you start in September and end in May. Plus, you typically take the summer off to work/intern/rest. Suppose you don’t take the summer off and the traditional program is down to 18 months. Then 15 months doesn’t sound like such a crunch. It is a bit of a squeeze, but I think it is sufficient.
Two things bother me.
Time: adjusting to a new environment, especially foreign, could take time. So I’d gladly take the summer break.
Experience: I recently spoke to a Warehousing professional here. Rather than thriving on vague terms, he explained me how the lack of domain (any domain) expertise could render the analytics degree useless. I, for one, have no domain expertise as such.
Am I thinking in the wrong direction?
Palak (and Sam),
Thanks for the good discussion. If time and a new environment are a concern, then definitely look for a traditional program. There are plenty of good choices on the list. If you really want to get into the analytics space, you could go to school or you could try to transition into an analytics job or you could just try learning it yourself on the internet.
I don’t think the analytics degree would ever be useless, but with some experience and domain knowledge it would probably be more beneficial.

Hi Ryan,
Great post.
There’s another one at Imperial College Business School in London.
It’s a joint programme with Imperial’s department of computing and combines data science with management.
http://www3.imperial.ac.uk/business-school/programmes/msc-data-science
Thanks Rowena. It has been added to the list.
The message says “Unfortunately Imperial College Business School is no longer offering this programme.” The message is generic so it might be an error or they might really have stopped running this programme. Thanks
Malli,
Thanks for sharing. I am seeing the error as well. However, the program was supposed to new this fall, so maybe it is an error. I will try to check the link in a few more days.
Thanks,
Ryan
We had one of the first dedicated to true Data Science (started 6 years ago):
George Mason University
http://spacs.gmu.edu/category/academics/undergraduate-programs/
Forgot to mention in my preceding post, we have a PhD in Informatics (Data Science), coupled with Computational Science, though a student can pursue either one. The program has existed since 1991 (over 20 years!) and has graduated approximately 250 PhDs:

Thanks, it is added to the list.
Hi Ryan,
Analyzing the list of possible courses, I find three groups:
1. Online certificate courses
2. On-campus certificate courses
3. MS degree programs
Now for a fresher in this domain (and not considering the course duration factor), which one of the above do you feel is the more relevant option? Further, are the certificate courses more suited for working professionals in the analytics domain?
Thanks.
I think the on-campus MS degree programs are the best. I am guessing the online certificate programs are targeting working professionals.
Thanks for commenting. I will try my best to answer any other questions.
