The Master of Science program in data engineering allows students with a background in STEM disciplines to focus their analytical, programming and engineering skills to integrate messy data into clean, usable datasets. Students will use programming languages, SQL, and other software to creatively solve data-related problems and optimize data pipelines. It is a 33-hour program.
Academic standards
If a student’s GPA on all graduate and/or deficiency courses falls below 3.0, the student will be placed on probation the following term/semester. Students who cannot raise their GPA above 3.0 during that term/semester will be dropped from the program. To qualify for the master’s degree, the student must earn a grade of B or better in each of the core courses.
