It's been relatively easy to find standard Data Science MS programs. What has been harder is finding programs that are similar, but different enough that they don't show up in lists of Data Science MS programs. For example, Columbia's Quantitative Methods in Social Sciences program (QMSS). What are Masters programs that are similar to QMSS, in that they teach some level of statistics and coding?
So far, I've heard of:
NYU: Applied Urban Science & Informatics
NYU: Applied Statistics for Social Science Research
UChicago: Computational Social Sciences
Uchicago: Computational Analysis and Public Policy
LSE: Applied Social Data Science
Brown: Social Analysis and Research
Western Michigan University: Evaluation, Measurement, and Research
Carnegie Mellon: Public Policy & Management: Data Analytics
But are there others?
To be more specific to my needs, I've worked as a Data/Research Analyst for a couple of years, but have worked mostly in Excel and Stata and would like to both shore up my statistics (I haven't done anything rigorous for a while) and learn to do that statistical work in Python/R. I have no formal Comp Sci experience (self taught a bit), have an MA in Economics, minored in Math, and did a fair number of statistical/econometric projects in undergrad. So, looking for programs where I can get a much stronger coding foundation and also advance my statistics. Something fairly technical. I don't want a PhD, would like to do data science work in the policy/politics space. Ideally would like to stay in NYC but curious about programs outside of it.
