The University of Chicago established the Committee on Data Science this year and recently renamed its MSc Analytics program to MSc Applied Data Science (MS ADS). It has now also launched a new program: MS in Data Science (MS DS). Unlike the career-oriented ADS, DS is a research-oriented program better suited for academically focused students. The application is now open. Interested students can learn more with a CheersYou（清柚教育） advisor. For more questions, scan the QR code below for one-on-one consultation.
I. Program Introduction
The Master of Science in Data Science (MSDS) is designed for students interested in pursuing data science research, with courses taught by faculty from Statistics, Computer Science, and many other departments across the university.
Additionally, many introductory courses offered to Data Science PhD students are also available to MSDS graduate students, covering areas such as computer science, optimization, linear algebra, and statistics—ideal for those planning to continue into doctoral studies.
