Master of Science in Data Science, Analytics and Engineering with Concentration in Bayesian Machine Learning (STEM)

Program Overview

This concentration in Bayesian machine learning within the MS program in data science, analytics and engineering is offered in partnership with the School of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences. With its programs in statistics, applied mathematics and theoretical mathematics, the school is distinctly positioned to enable students to understand the statistical, probability and mathematical bases for the technical tools and emerging concepts in statistical and probabilistic machine learning and data science. The school also supports students' ability to collect, maintain, analyze, model and decide based on heterogeneous, time-dependent, noisy, biased, hierarchical and potentially large data sets.

Bayesian thinking is particularly suited to addressing the difficult issues associated with these high-dimension complex modeling challenges. Bayesian learning, decision-making and computation have made a significant impact on many areas of data science. Hierarchical modeling, time series analysis, ensemble modeling, spatial modeling and causal modeling are among the various areas of expertise covered by this program. Students will be able to apply these tools in a variety of domains such as engineering, physics, biology, social sciences, economics and finance.

Graduate students who are admitted with deficiencies must meet the deficiencies in order to become eligible for a scholarship award.

ASU-USA Pathways admission and progression scholarships

Admitted students are guaranteed $8,500 awarded for the 3-semester program, or $3,600 for 1-semester. Earned Pathways students are eligible for the scholarship in their first full Pathways session after they gain full admission. On successful completion of ASU-USA Pathways, students with GPA 3.25+ are awarded an ASU bachelor’s program tuition scholarship of $5,000, renewable annually.*

Kaplan International award

Students who do not meet the criteria for an ASU scholarship may be eligible for a Kaplan-funded partial scholarship (average $2,000) if they are unconditionally admitted to a bachelor’s or master’s degree. For undergraduates, the Kaplan award is given each semester until completion of their first spring semester at ASU. After that, if the student has no NAmU scholarship, the Kaplan award will be renewed* by ASU for 6 or 7 additional semesters. For graduates, Kaplan-funded awards are not renewable.

Work Permit

PGWP

Optional Practical Training or OPT is a period during which students, who have completed their degrees in the USA, are permitted to work for one year on a student visa by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). OPT allows students to work for up to 3 years and develop real-world skills to survive in the competitive jobs market.

It is temporary employment for a period of 12-months that is directly related to the major area of study of an F-1 student. Eligible students have the option to apply for OPT employment authorization before completing their academic studies and/or after completing their academic studies.

A student can participate in three types of Optional Practical Training (OPT):

Pre-Completion OPT: This is temporary employment provided to F-1 students before completion of their course of study.
Post-Completion OPT: This is temporary employment available to F-1 students after completing their course of study.
24 Month STEM Extension: Students enrolled in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) courses can a 24-month extension after their initial Post-Completion OPT authorization.
