Masters in Data Science

The proposed Masters in Data Sciences program has been approved by Columbia University and is anticipated to launch in the fall of 2014. The application has been posted and the deadline to apply is February 15th. The program is still pending New York State approval, however, we have been granted permission to launch the application for the program. Applications are being accepted, however the admissions decision timeline will be contingent upon when the program receives approval from the State of New York.

Program Overview

This program will offer students an in depth education experience to focus on data science as it pertains to their unique interests. The foundation of this program has been built from the 4-course Certification of Professional Achievement in Data Sciences program. Students will be interacting with diverse faculty members and students, given the opportunity to conduct research opportunities, included in a capstone project course, and available for industry interaction.

The M.S. students will be given the opportunity to select an elective track which incorporates the six centers within the Institute as well as an Entrepreneurship track. This allows students to hone in on their particular interests and skill sets.

Our proposed curriculum will likely be as follows:

• Algorithms for Data Science (CS/OR), 3 credits
• Machine Learning for Data Science (CS), 3 credits
• Exploratory Data Analysis for Data Science (STATS), 3 credits
• Computer Systems for Data Science (CS), 3 credits
• Probability (STATS), 3 credits
• Statistical Inference & Modeling (STATS), 3 credits
• Data Science Capstone & Ethics (ENG), 3 credits
• Electives (9 credits) – for a total of 30 credits
  

The program may be completed in two semesters of full-time intensive study.

Questions? Please contact admissions@idse.columbia.edu for more information.

官网上的信息：
Are international students able to apply?
Since the Certification of Professional Achievement in Data Sciences is a part-time program, Columbia University will not issue F1 or J1 visas for this program.  Individuals currently on other visas may contact our International Student and Scholars Office (ISSO) to inquire about eligibility as a non-degree student: isso@columbia.edu

所以说国际生好像今年不能申。。。

原来不只有我一个人发现了这个项目...

请大家注意这个项目还在等待纽约市政府的审批，可能录取结果会发放的比较晚

小米的说法：

“It is our hope to have New York State approval in time for the typical April 15th deadline for the reasons that you propose.  We will keep all applicants informed of our progress so that applicants may make informed decisions regarding other opportunities they may have.”

Why? 可以更详细么

F&Q 里貌似提到这个项目由于是part-time的，不offer F-1 visa
