All students must take all 6 of our course courses as well as our 1 project-capstone or thesis. Of the remaining 2-3 electives it may be possible to accept 1 or 2 courses if they meet a number of requirements including that they must be master's (not undergraduate) courses related to data science and they must not have significant overlap with our core courses.
Important Note to Applicants:
Applicants are encouraged to identify CCNY DSE mentors in a domain of their interest. Evidence of a potential match will be considered during admission. Be sure to include domain interest and any communication with a potential CCNY mentor in your personal statement.
