Master of Science in Data Science
Learn how to apply the most in-demand tools such as Argus Oracle, Hadoop, SAS and more in the field of Data Science.
Overview
Why Data Science
Data scientists, data engineers, and business analysts are among the most sought-after positions in America. Yet, many existing and emerging workers don’t have the full skill set employers to need. A report from the US Bureau of Labour Statistics suggested that the rise of Data Science needs forecast to create roughly 11.5 million job openings by 2026.
Sollers’s Masters in Data Science is designed to the crater to the need of the emerging workforce. The programs focus on Basic concepts to Advanced concepts from Algorithms, Mathematical concepts, Statistics, Programming in R, AWS, Python, Data Visualization using Tableau, Modelling & Prediction, Information/Text Analytics, Machine Learning, NLP, Deep Learning using Python, and elective specialization tracks like
Track 1: Healthcare
Track 2: Fraud and Security Intelligence
Track 3: Forecasting and Econometrics
Our Graduates complete a capstone project by executing the core skills and concepts that combine the technical, analytical, interpretive, and social dimensions required to design and execute a full data science project. Students learn integral skills that prepare them for long-term professional success in the field.
The biggest advantage of studying in Sollers is most of our programs are customized based on industry requirements. Our career service advisors are Industry experts who support the students with resume and interview preparation to get ready for their career in Data Science.

In this course :
- AWS- the core concepts of virtual private clouds, instance types, and storage services will be addressed and deeper architecture concepts.
- Data Mining – Topics include the design and implementation of data warehouse and OLAP operations; data mining concepts and methods, such as association rule mining, pattern mining, classification, and clustering; and the applications of data-mining techniques to complex types of data in various fields. Advanced topics in machine learning and statistics will be covered.
- Big Data Hadoop- Analytical approaches to handling the five Vs. — volume, velocity, variability, veracity, and value — of big data. Parallel programming based on the Map. Reduce paradigm within the Hadoop Ecosystem is used to address these needs.
- Machine Learning – Solve problems in linear algebra, probability, optimization, and machine learning. Implement deep learning models in Python using the PyTorch library and train them with real-world datasets.
- Data Visualization – Assess the quality of the data and perform exploratory analysis. Combine the data and follow the best practices to present your story.
- The capstone project allows students to gain practical, real-world industry experience within their area of interest and use their new knowledge before graduation.

FAQs
It’s a full time two year program.
The program is suitable for working recent undergraduates wishing to make their career in data science domains, undergraduates or graduates having some years of experience in IT/software domain or working executives looking to enhance their skills or make a career shift in data science domain.
The prerequisites for the course is at least a bachelor’s degree in STEM discipline or bachelor’s degree in some other field with some years of experience in either a functional, IT or related field. The students should have some basic conceptual understanding of types of data, data structures, some analytical knowledge, preferably some programming language or tool.
Students will gain hands on experience on the domains of data science which will include knowledge of programming languages, analytical and visualization tools and the core statistical and applied concepts which forms part of the data science domain. These would include programming languages like Python and Java, Big data ecosystem, visualization tools (both open source as well as commercial) and applications like Machine Learning, Natural Language Processing, Artificial Intelligence, etc.
The growing demand and consumption of data have resulted in the surge for professionals who could analyze and work with different kinds of data. There exists a massive demand-supply gap in the domain of data science and big data. A research study conducted by Accenture found that more than 90% of clients planned to hire workers with DSA expertise, but 40% were confronted by a lack of available talent. Barring a few most position in Data Science domain demands a masters degree, thus this Masters Course is apt for professionals and students looking to make a career in data science domain.
