“Coming from a mathematics only background, I knew very little about various clustering algorithms and predictive modeling. The Data mining courses at Rowan University taught me about numerous techniques and algorithms and how to apply these methods in different programming languages, vastly improving my knowledge of the topics and my coding skills!” Emily Galvin, M.S. 2023 |
“Throughout my time in the MS-DS program at Rowan, I got to experience a bunch of different applications of data science, ranging from machine learning and algorithm analysis to exploratory data analysis and data visualization. The DS program here goes in-depth into both theory and application. The work I do at Cooper is similar to work I did in a class I took last semester.” Jonathan Witkowski, M.S. 2023 Cooper University Healthcare Intern |
