For Employers

Interested in engaging with the M.S. in Data Analytics for Science (MS-DAS) Program? There are a number of ways that you can get involved.

Become a Capstone Project Partner

An integral part of the MS-DAS program is the industry partnered capstone course. Partner organizations have access to a team of science-trained graduate students to work on a defined data-driven project.

Participate in the MCS Professional Development Series

Throughout the academic year, the Mellon College of Science organizes a professional development series that focuses on scientific careers for masters and PhD students to learn more about post-graduate career opportunities. These workshops give employers the opportunity to highlight specific career functions within their organizations and provide graduate students with a broad understanding of the range of careers available.

Contact Gwen Stanczak, Director of MCS Graduate Programs, for more information and to participate at gwens@cmu.edu.
