NYU's Center for Urban Science Progress operates with a clear purpose: to enhance urban equity, resilience, accessibility, and responsiveness while elevating overall quality of life.
Through the MS in Applied Urban Science and Informatics program, you'll join this transformative work by exploring urban science across disciplines and applying technical expertise to worldwide urban challenges. The program teaches you to identify critical urban questions and find solutions through large-scale data analysis.
Urban science mirrors modern cities - constantly evolving, multidimensional, and deeply interconnected. This field merges the analytical rigor of data science, computer science, and statistics with sociological approaches to economic, community, and individual welfare. CUSP students leverage New York City as their urban laboratory, cultivating a unique perspective that synthesizes these approaches to reimagine city spaces.
