The Capstone course provides a unique opportunity for students in the M.S. in Data Science program to apply their knowledge of the foundations, theory and methods of data science to address data driven problems in industry and government. In this course, student teams work with representatives from DSI Industry Affiliate companies and Columbia faculty on semester-length data science projects. The resulting projects synthesize the statistical, computational, engineering and social challenges involved in solving complex real-world problems.
Join our event to explore the projects, see demos, and meet with the participating students and mentors. Find project themes and companies below.
DSI Industry Affiliates have access to Capstone projects following the event. Please reach out to datascience@columbia.edu with any questions about the Capstone program.
