Overview

See more information on the Harvard Graduate School of Arts and Sciences website here: https://gsas.harvard.edu/program/data-science The Master of Science in Data Science program at the Harvard Graduate School of Arts and Sciences combines computer science and statistics to train students how to analyze, contextualize, and draw insights from complex data. Data is being generated at an ever-increasing speed across all aspects of modern life. The program offers strong preparation in statistical modeling, machine learning, optimization, management and analysis of massive data sets, and data acquisition. The program focuses on hands-on research projects. In many of the program’s courses, students demonstrate their mastery of the material covered by applying those methods in a final project. In addition, students gain a deeper research experience by completing a master’s thesis on a computational project under faculty supervision or through the Capstone Project course—in which teams of students work on real-world projects sourced from industry partners, such as collaborating with Spotify on recommender systems and with the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority on optimum bus scheduling. Graduates of the program have taken key positions at large technology companies, major financial institutions, and emerging startups. Others have gone on to doctoral studies in computer science and statistics.

OPT and STEM OPT eligibility depend on maintaining F-1 status and on the program. A program counts as STEM only when its CIP code is on the official STEM list — not because its name sounds technical.
