U-M’s new, interdisciplinary Data Science Master’s Program is taking applications for its first group of students. The program is aimed at teaching participants how to extract useful knowledge from massive datasets using computational and statistical techniques. The program is a collaboration between the College of Engineering (EECS), the College of Literature Science and the Arts (Statistics), the School of Public Health (Biostatistics), the School of Information, and the Michigan Institute for Data Science. “We are very excited to be offering this unique collaborative program, which brings together expertise from four key disciplines at the university in a curriculum that is at the forefront of data science,” said HV Jagadish, professor of electrical engineering and computer science, who chairs the program committee for the program.
