Join the M.S. in Data Science at the University of New Haven! Explore advanced analytics, machine learning, and career support for international students.
Data Science is an emerging field that combines methods from machine learning, artificial intelligence, and statistics with entirely new technologies for handling vast amounts of complex and quickly-changing data. The job of a data scientist is to apply these methods to gather information and achieve goals that are otherwise impossible for human experts due the large quantities and complexity of the data. In the University of New Haven’s M.S. in data science program, students will develop proficiencies in the key skills expected of leading data scientists, including deep learning and statistical analysis, and the data skills needed to work with unstructured data and Natural Language Processing (NLP). Program outcomes: Perform explorative data analysis in the context of real world applications. Design and build appropriate algorithms to model and interpret data. Build an end-to-end distributed data-pipeline. Apply subject-matter expertise to the design and development of data-driven solutions. Demonstrate the ability to work independently. Possible roles and applications include: Energy: Creating a system for the best distribution of electricity on a city’s power grid, to maximizing utilization of wind and solar resources through quickly-changing weather conditions. Commerce: Detecting and adapting to patterns of fraudulent transactions in the 500 billion online transactions performed each day. Healthcare: Developing systems for monitoring data collection captured by wearable devices to identify potential warning signs at an early stage. Law Enforcement: Identifying potential warnings of upcoming terrorist activity by scanning the thousands of hours of video uploaded to YouTube each day.
