Prepare yourself for a high-demand career in data analysis/data science or related
fields with the Computational Mathematics and Statistics M.S. degree program from
Duquesne. Students in the program apply mathematics, statistics and computer science
to real-world problems. Our interdisciplinary program gives you a high-quality curriculum
taught by experts in all three fields as well as a high level of proficiency with
programming languages, mathematical and statistical software, and other computational
tools.
To complete the Master's degree, students are required to take courses from three
core areas: mathematics, statistics, and computer sciences. During the Pathway program,
international students may choose to complete one of the core areas while improving
their English skills.
