Overview

Master of Computer Science - Data Science, Analytics, and Artificial Intelligence

The Data Science and Analytics (DSA) master’s and PhD programs are a natural extension of the popular Collaborative Specialization in Data Science that was launched in 2015 which is offered jointly by several departments. 

Data Science is a field that has grown in huge leaps. The Collaborative Specialization is focused on interdisciplinary Data Science. 

In contrast, the full master’s and PhD programs at Carleton University are totally focused on the technical aspect of Data Science. 

The programs offer opportunities to undertake groundbreaking research in the field of data science and analytics from several directions, such as statistics, AI methods and software engineering.

Data scientists and data analytics professionals focus on the collection, preprocessing, exploration, use and visualization of data, be it from sensors, transactional data, or other sources. 

Students will be exposed to the various methodologies that constitute these areas of DSA and more.

One distinguishing feature of Carleton’s DSA program is that it is a joint program between the Faculty of Science and Faculty of Engineering and Design, spanning four academic units – thus, offering a wide disciplinary breadth, and providing students with multiple perspectives.

Ottawa Advantage
Carleton’s location in Ottawa and its long relationship with the city’s tech sector is positioned well to create a highly educated workforce of data science specialists.
