DATA SCIENCE

Our mission is to prepare data scientists to solve real-world problems through critical thinking, collaboration, communication, and the ethical and judicious application of cutting-edge data science methods. Our interdisciplinary focus readies students to apply innovations across disciplinary boundaries and be impactful across a wide range of careers. Our project-based learning model and training in cloud, databases, and distributed systems ensure our students are ready to deploy solutions immediately upon graduation... We've created a core group of courses for all MIDS students that's inspired by the data-to-decision cycle. These courses are centered on marshalling, analyzing, and visualizing data. They create a shared language for students and a common frame of reference for data-driven projects... The Duke University Master in Interdisciplinary Data Science (MIDS) produces data scientists who can add value to any field.
