Accelerated Data Science Curriculum & Specializations
The Accelerated Master of Science in Data Science program offers students who have successfully completed the MIT Micromasters in Statistics the opportunity to earn their Northwestern master's degree at an accelerated pace by completing nine courses.
Included in the nine courses are three core courses, a leadership or project management course, two required courses corresponding to a declared specialization, two electives, and a capstone project or thesis.
A specialization may be declared as part of the application process or may be declared at any time during a student’s tenure in the program. Students also have the option of choosing a general data science curriculum with no declared specialization.
Please see the academic catalog for additional information regarding the curriculum. Current students should refer to curriculum requirements in place at time of entry into the program.
