As cutting-edge A.I. technologies such as machine learning and natural language processing advance swiftly, Stevens collaborated with industry leaders to create four specialized academic tracks that guarantee expertise in this field's most crucial fundamentals. These focus areas address the most pressing demands for future data science professionals.
Artificial intelligence and machine learning. Investigates statistical learning, A.I. systems, machine learning models, and financial analytics applications.
Modeling with mathematics and statistics. Addresses multivariate analysis, financial time series forecasting, and dynamic programming methods.
Computational infrastructure. Examines sophisticated algorithm development, distributed computing architectures, and cloud-based solutions.
Large-scale data handling. Provides comprehensive study of data processing technologies, mobile platforms, and information management systems.
Stevens' interdisciplinary Data Science Ph.D. program equips curious scholars to emerge as innovators in this domain through an intensive course of study focused on mathematical modeling, statistical analysis, machine learning, computational frameworks, and data governance. Jointly overseen by the Schaefer School of Engineering and Science and the School of Business, the program delivers a multifaceted education that meets the growing need for data scientists proficient in both theoretical foundations and practical implementations of data and A.I. technologies. Alumni emerge as research pioneers in academic or corporate settings, guiding organizations through the data transformation era into the new frontier of artificial intelligence and automated learning systems. This full-time doctoral program is conducted at Stevens' Hoboken, NJ campus and requires applicants to possess technical qualifications—either a graduate degree in computer science, business analytics, or equivalent professional experience. With its emphasis on hands-on research, the program seeks intellectually driven candidates eager to collaborate with Stevens faculty who are pioneering breakthroughs in data science theory and real-world applications.
Applicants must have technical backgrounds — either a master’s degree in a field like computer science or business analytics, or relevant work experience.
