Learn by Doing
Hands-on, project-based learning opportunities will give you the skills and knowledge you need to derive data-driven insights. In our Data Science master's program, you will develop computational programming abilities to represent and explore data. Learn how to make the most of statistical data analysis techniques and quantitative modeling and get hands-on experience extracting, loading, process and transforming real-world data.
Top off your data science master's with a capstone project, integrating what you’ve learned and the skills you’ve developed to solve real-world challenges.
Flexible and Convenient Courses
Offered primarily online (with the option to take some classes on campus), the MS, Data Science draws on several disciplines to provide a well-rounded, flexible education that can be completed in just 1 year.

Student Testimonials
Patrick Pfenning
"I'm getting my Master's in Data Science and this is my second time around at Wentworth as I did an undergrad in Applied Mathematics and graduated in 2017. I came back and started in Data Science as a part-time student. Wentworth works really well with me being a full time data engineer, so I work full time during the week and I have a really great relationship with the professors here, not only in the data science program, but throughout the institution."
