About the Program

Director Gordon Erlebacher discusses Florida State University's Interdisciplinary Data Science Master's Degree Program.

In FSU’s Interdisciplinary Data Science Master's Degree Program, or IDS, students acquire the technical and analytical skills that will propel them into careers across diverse industries, from the sciences to health care, from finance and economics to the humanities and more.

FSU’s IDS program leverages the power of the university’s heritage strengths in the STEM disciplines to offer coursework and training at the graduate level in majors including computational science, computer science, mathematics, and statistics.

This program is unique in its inclusion of ethics as related to data mining and data extraction, and communication that strengthen the student’s sense of responsibility and value to their employer, consistent with the goals of a modern liberal arts education.
