Master of Science - Data Science (optional co-op)

Program Description

In the era of big data, deriving insights from available data to support or optimize decisions is becoming a necessity in businesses, industries, and governments. Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University’s Master of Science in Data Science (MSDS) is designed to provide students with the practical skills they need to lead the industry into the future.

Whether students seek to enhance their marketability in the fields of safety, cybersecurity, business, homeland security or a broader area, the MSDS will prepare them to transform ubiquitous data into reliable, actionable decisions applying a combination of data understanding, analytical skills, and domain knowledge.

Five distinct tracks in the MSDS program allow students to choose their specialization and build on current knowledge. Optional internships provide the opportunity to earn real-world experience outside the classroom, and a collaborative capstone project provides access to rea-world data sets and equips students to communicate findings effectively with data visualization.

Embry-Riddle graduates are in demand in aviation & aerospace, as well as in business, cybersecurity, homeland security, safety and more. Interdisciplinary coursework, world-renowned faculty, and state-of-the-art labs prepare students to work collaboratively, and to employ the most powerful computational and analytic tools to meet the complex challenges of today.
