Capstone Research Project

3 Credits

The capstone project provides students with an opportunity to integrate and apply the core knowledge and skills acquired throughout the data science program in a real-world, project-driven setting. All projects must be new and completed specifically for this capstone course under faculty supervision. Students will choose a project reflecting their domain interest (and perhaps of professional or research relevance). The course instructor will provide guidance to set appropriate expectations, scope, and methodological rigor. Students will conduct a comprehensive data science project applicable to organizational or research objectives; apply the full data science workflow,; and develop a professional written report and other technical deliverables.
