Masters

The ability to answer urgent and novel questions using large data sets has become increasingly important in the past decade, and is expected to become even more prevalent in the coming years. As a result, there is considerable and growing demand for computer scientists specifically trained in methods for extracting knowledge from large data sets, and with the ability to develop computing systems and software that support that process. To meet that need, we offer our master’s students the opportunity to specialize in data-centric computing. The specialization incorporates intensive study across a spectrum of related areas, including machine learning, databases, data mining, algorithms, and systems, in an eight-course program. The computer science (CS) program at Boston University is geared toward students with a CS undergraduate degree, but we also welcome those with equivalent computer training and experience, as well as students with gaps in their CS background but strong academic records overall.
