Graduate School of Arts & Science Ph.D. students at the University of Virginia who wish to use data-driven approaches in their careers may apply to the 11-month M.S. in Data Science Residential Program. Prospective students must plan to take a leave of absence from their Ph.D. program for the full 11 months (fall, spring, and summer terms).
There is no additional application process, and if admitted, students would be eligible for the same financial aid and/or fellowships as any MSDS student. Learn more on our Funding Your Graduate Degree page.
