Capstone Project

Catalog description

The goal for this year-long capstone is for students to be integrated into world-class interdisciplinary research projects that can solve real-life problems and significantly advance through data science. Guided by a faculty advisor, each student will work with a client (e.g. a company, government agency, or nonprofit) on this research project. The project will provide opportunities to hone students teamwork, project management, creative problem solving, and communication skills as they apply and further develop their data science expertise. The final deliverables will be evaluated by faculty and relevant stakeholders. Only open to Statistical Science Masters.
