Overview

Master of Science in Computing & Data Analytics

The Master of Science in Computing and Data Analytics (M.Sc. CDA) program is a graduate-level professional program available to full-time and part-time students.  

The program is founded on established principles of mathematics and computing science for industry and business analytics. 

It combines two essential aspects of computing and data analytics:

  1. hardware and software platform design, development, customization, and management; and
  2. Analytics, business intelligence and knowledge discovery: the acquisition, storage, management, and analysis of large amounts of data to improve efficiency, innovation and decision-making.

It is an interdisciplinary applied program built on a solid foundation gained through a Bachelor of Science in Computing Science (or equivalent).  

The Program offers individuals the unique opportunity to gain a deeper technical skill set and a broader understanding of current and future trends in business and information technology (IT). 

The principles of business and industry practices are interwoven throughout the program at St. Mary's University

The M.Sc. CDA is a rigorous graduate-level program that features innovative cross-disciplinary classes taught in a stimulating environment with opportunities for interaction with industry practitioners. 

The option of Internships, Projects, or Thesis elements following completion of the required courses provides flexibility in meeting students’ goals. 

Under special circumstances, with the permission of the Program Coordinator, students may combine internship and project options.
