Curriculum

University of the Pacific's MS in Data Science program uses a hybrid approach that combines the convenience of online learning with hands-on experience in the classroom. Online sessions are taught on weekday evenings, and classroom sessions are taught on the weekends. All courses are conducted live, with your professors, including the online, interactive sessions. All lectures are recorded so that students can review them later, if necessary. 

The program culminates with the Capstone Project, which gives students the opportunity to apply the knowledge they have gained by working with industry professionals to solve a real-world problem.
