M.S. in Data Science and Analytics Graduate PROGRAM Funding

The M.S. in Data Science and Analytics is a multi-college interdisciplinary program administered by the Department of Political Science. The Department administers the Data Science in Society Concentration and awards funding for the program on a competitive basis.

If you would like to request funding, please send, as part of your application, a one page letter indicating the type of funding and why the Department should support you. Our primary support is the awarding of a graduate teaching assistantship (GTA). Only a limited number of students can be GTAs, and the number available varies each year. A GTA award in this program is full-time. 

A full-time award includes a full tuition waiver for 9 graduate credits each semester during the academic year.  You are responsible to pay all corresponding student fees. In addition, you will be given a semester stipend  to work no more than 20 hours per week for a professor. Health issuance is available for full-time GTAs.

Each award is subject to review at the end of the semester by your assigned professor.  This recommendation will influence future awards for a Graduate Teaching Assistant position.
