华盛顿大学

首先呢它提供全日制和非全日制两种，1.5-2.5年，上课地点西雅图校区。且课程面向毕业生和希望从事数据科学职业的工作专业人士。课程在晚上的华盛顿大学西雅图校区举行。按照适合您的时间表参加部分或全部时间。

下一部分就说一下这个专业在这个学校下的课程吧。

必须完成45学分，包括9个核心课程（40学分）和and a final, two-quarter group capstone project（5学分）。

数据科学理学硕士课程旨在提供数据科学成功职业所需的广度和深度知识。它强调通过统计学，机器学习，以人为本的数据科学和可视化，可扩展数据系统和数据管理等课程应用相关技能的实用能力。根据课程的不同，学生可以期望强调Python和R编程，并且一些任务可以使用Java。

学生可以选择每季度参加一到两门课程，每周上课一到两个晚上。课程预计按以下顺序提供：

•DATA 556：统计与概率简介
•HCDE 511：信息可视化与数据可视化科学实验室：DATA 501
•数据557：应用统计与实验设计
•DATA 514：数据科学的数据管理
•DATA 558：数据科学家的统计机器学习
•DATA 515：数据科学的软件设计
•DATA 516：可扩展的数据系统和算法
•DATA 512：以人为本的数据科学
•数据590： C apstone 1 - 项目准备
•数据591：Capstone II - 项目实施

Students generally progress through this sequence of required courses as a cohort. Master of Science in Data Science courses are not open for single-course enrollment, and no seats are available to non-matriculated students.

A Team-Based Learning Approach

Many of the courses will emphasize team-based data analysis and engineering work and will involve working in small groups to complete one or more guided practicum projects per quarter. The final course is a capstone project where students get to solve a real-world data analysis challenge facing a local organization.>>点击咨询华盛顿大学入学要求

下面重点说一下招生要求。

1.时间

2018年9月10日开始申请2019秋季入学，申请截止日期为 2019年1月18日，申请人将在3月29日前收到录取或拒绝通知。

2.入学要求

注意：数据科学理学硕士课程不再需要申请GRE成绩。

神奇吧，你往下看就不那么觉得了~~不需要GRE肯定需要比GRE更难的东西。

•学士学位

•GPA：平均成绩平均分为至少3.2分（4.0分）。但是，我们会考虑GPA在3.0到3.2之间的申请人。

•必修课程

All prerequisite coursework must be completed before you apply. MOOC or other ungraded coursework cannot be used to fulfill this requirement.

If you took math or programming at a Washington state community college, please see UW's course equivalency guide.

Mathematics: At a minimum, you should have completed a three-class calculus sequence and a linear algebra course, equivalent to UW's MATH 124/125/126 and MATH 308.

Computer Programming: At a minimum, you should have completed a two-course introductory sequence in programming, equivalent to UW's CSE 142/143, or be able to demonstrate equivalent proficiency.

Alternatively, you may demonstrate programming skills through practical experience, such as through work, Kaggle competitions or other projects. If you believe you have satisfied the programming requirement this way, please provide a link in your application to a GitHub repository demonstrating your coding experience or a recommendation from a technical colleague describing your coding contributions to a work project.

•英语能力：所有母语不是英语的申请人必须具备英语语言能力。>>>点击定制美国留学专属规划

3.申请材料

•成绩单

•简历或在线申请的论文

下面重点来了！

•随笔Essay

需要申请三篇论文，其中一篇是可选的。可选的论文允许您告诉我们更多关于您自己或解释潜在关注的领域。如果您是重新申请者，我们强烈建议您提供对可选。

Essay 1 (250 words maximum)

What do you hope to accomplish in the short- and long-term future? How will a Master of Science in Data Science help you get there? Why is the UW Master of Science in Data Science program the best fit for you?

Essay 2 (500 words maximum)

The UW Master of Science in Data Science program places a premium on creativity and strong communication skills. In addition to excellent quantitative abilities, good data scientists must be able to visualize and narrate their findings in a way that makes them meaningful to a non-technical audience.

向我们展示数据可视化的一个例子，并解释为什么你认为它很棒。你为什么选择这个例子？你会如何改进它？

您可以从下面的示例中选择一个

•破解蛋形之谜（科学）
•一些学院的学生人数超过底部的百分之一60.找到你的（纽约时报）
•35年美国人死亡（FiveThirtyEight）
•2016年如何成为地球上最热门的一年（纽约时报）

Essay 3 (250 words maximum)

The UW Master of Science in Data Science program aims to produce leaders in data science. Provide an example of your leadership and describe what you learned about yourself in the process.

Optional Essay (250 words maximum)

Provide additional information that you would like to bring to the attention of the admissions committee. This may include gaps in employment history, academic performance issues, choice of recommenders, socioeconomic disadvantages or any other relevant information. If you are a reapplicant, explain how your candidacy has strengthened since your last application.

Recommendations

Two recommendations are required; three are preferred. Consider asking current or recent employers, colleagues or teachers. Make sure they can speak in detail about your programming, mathematical and communication skills and your ability to learn new things or bring together different approaches.

You'll need the email addresses of your references for the Graduate School application. They'll each be sent an email directing them to a secure website where they'll submit their recommendations.

看看，不要GRE是不是更难，所以同学们，还是在大学期间好好学习TOEFL、GRE等标化考试吧。
