  • Harvard Master of Science in Data Science Program has a competitive admissions process. Its applicant, therefore, is expected to have an excellent academic history, commonly in mathematics, statistics, or computer Science and experience with programming and statistical analysis. So many qualified students apply, making the applicant statement of purpose and the letter of recommendation all important for admission into the program. Although admission is tough, a prepared student with relevant experience and skill may be accepted.
