A Master of Science in Data Science is an interdisciplinary degree program designed to provide studies in scientific methods, processes, and systems to extract knowledge or insights from data in various forms, either structured or unstructured, [1] [2] similar to data mining.
As an area of expertise and field, data science is defined as a "concept to unify statistics, data analysis and their related quantitative and qualitative methods" in order to "understand and analyze actual phenomena" with data.

The degree is relatively new, with graduate schools, business schools, and data science centers often housing the programs. Data science degree programs have emerged to address the growing and unique need for data scientists who can provide insight into multiple organizational issues and interests across several disciplines.
