Academic Programs
Undergraduate
Computational Modeling & Data Analytics (CMDA)
The CMDA program draws on expertise from three primary departments at Virginia Tech with strengths in quantitative science: Mathematics, Statistics, and Computer Science. By combining elements of these disciplines in innovative, integrated courses that emphasize techniques at the forefront of applied computation, the CMDA program teaches a rich suite of quantitative skills for tackling today's massive data-based problems.
Data and Decisions Minor (DTDC)
By completing the Data and Decisions minor, students will be able to consume and use data responsibly, ethically, collaboratively, effectively, and efficiently.
graduate
Data Science (MSDS)
Following approval from the State Council of Higher Education from Virginia in January, the Master of Science in Data Science — which will initially be offered in a 4+1 accelerated format — is set to launch in Fall 2025. The program will prepare students to design, organize, and execute data science projects to answer data-driven questions.
