At South College, the Master of Science in Data Science degree program is designed to help advance student study of predictive analytics, business intelligence, and data mining tools to solve problems in engineering, science, and business.
Students focus on developing a deep understanding of mathematics, computing, and tools designed for large scale data sets.
South College’s Master of Science in Data Science program is fully online and intentionally topic targeted. The curriculum requires specific courses aligned with necessary skills. This program offers many opportunities to work and communicate with instructors and classmates, but you are also expected to be responsible, motivated, and able to work independently. Even with the support of our instructors and staff, time management will be needed for balancing coursework with other obligations. Building strong time management skills will help you to juggle your course load.
South College is committed to supporting our students in any way we can. Though the online format encourages independence for busy students, it also provides many collaboration and communication opportunities with your instructors and classmates alike, and the faculty are frequently available for assistance and advice.

I went to college originally straight out of high school with the intent of majoring in musical performance with a concentration in theoretical studies. I was not prepared to for college at that point, so I decided to gain some experience and maturity by joining the work force full-time. After working for 10 years, I felt it was time to try school again.
I am currently in the Bachelor’s of Business Administration program with a Concentration in Accounting. I felt that given my personal interests, strengths, and skills, that a degree in accounting would be the right choice. Also, I wanted to choose something that had the potential to allow work/life balance in the future as both are important to me.
I like South College because of the other students and the teachers that go out of their way to make sure you are good. The administration seems to really care. That’s what I like about South College – we are family.
