Cyber and Big Data Analytics

In the School of Economic, Political and Policy Sciences (EPPS), our faculty and students have experience working with “messy data.” They apply computer science tools to predict and identify efficient solutions to public policy and social challenges. Newer techniques, like machine learning, natural language processing, crowdsourced surveys, and text scraping are taught alongside tried-and-true tools like Stata, R, Python and JavaScript.

Social Data Analytics and Research (SDAR)

Students interested in using a big data approach can pursue the degree in MS Social Data Analytics and Research to gain expertise in data collection and cleaning, analysis, simulation and visualization.

Cyber Security, Technology and Policy

EPPS has partnered with the School of Engineering and Computer Science to offer an MS in Cyber Security, Technology and Policy degree. This degree is designed for students who want the training to analyze cybersecurity and technology issues and implementation challenges using an interdisciplinary and strategic approach.  Graduates will be prepared for managerial and analyst positions in a wide array of professional settings in the public and private sectors.
