Organizations and businesses in today’s instrumented world are motivated to hire data scientists to help them understand their data, learn from it, and harness its power to improve what they do. Data scientists combine computer science, statistical modeling, analytics, data visualization, and a deep understanding of their organization’s concerns to transform a vast amount of data into actionable insights—which can have a profound impact on businesses and the communities they serve. Data scientists work in every field: medicine, health care, environmental research, energy production, information security, finance, marketing —all with a similar goal of bringing understanding to an increasingly more complex world.

Program Overview Course Requirements Faculty Related programs DataLab

Manhattanville’s Data Science program will teach you the range of skills that are involved in modern data science—computer programming for data gathering, cleaning, and transformation; mathematics and statistics for foundational data analysis; machine learning for developing prediction models; and communication skills for presenting your work to others. You’ll work with tabular data from finance, the social sciences, and the natural sciences, as well as image data from medicine and text data from social media. You will be prepared to work as Data Scientists or Data Analysts in businesses, research institutions, or public policy organizations, or to go on to graduate work in Data Science.

Are you also interested in other fields, such as Economics, Psychology, or Finance? Our B.A degree gives you the flexibility to pursue a second major.

In both programs, you’ll have the opportunity to work with regional companies and institutions through DataLab, part of Manhattanville’s Design Thinking Center. In DataLab you will work on client projects and have access to all of Manhattanville’s resources—the spaces at the Design Thinking Center, the servers and GPUs of the Computer Science program, and your faculty in the Data Science program.
