SFU Big Data

In 2014, the School of Computing Science at Simon Fraser University launched the Professional Master's Program in Big Data. This hands-on program develops data architects who apply a deep knowledge of computer science to create new tools that find value in the vast amounts of information generated today.

Students are well-prepared to become data scientists/programmers, data solutions architects, and chief data officers capable of offering insights that influence strategic decision-making. The program is challenging and ideal for those with a strong aptitude in computer science or in quantitative fields, such as engineering or physics. A foundation in computer science and solid programming skills are required.
