We have partnered with the State University of New York Polytechnic Institute, New York's premier public polytechnic, to create pathways for Indian students to earn a Master of Science in Data Science and Analytics (MS DSA) in a hybrid format. The MS DSA program prepares students to be productive contributors in many professions dealing with complex data, in particular those that relate to the ethical collection, exploration and preparation of multi-modal data, the design of analytics models to extract knowledge from data, and the effective communication of data analysis results to company leaders and decision-makers.

Successful applicants have completed a Bachelor of Science: 3 yr undergraduate degree from a regionally accredited accredited institution with a cumulative GPA of 3.00 or higher on a 4.0 scale.

STEM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics. Students studying in a STEM-designated program can apply for Optional Practical Training (OPT), allowing them to work for 12 months in the US after completing the degree program. The STEM designation of the degree makes students eligible for an additional 24-month STEM OPT extension. With up to 36 months more time to work and network in the US, international students can build valuable professional skills and contacts to help them with their career endeavors.
