Interdisciplinary Offerings
The Allen School has helped shape and participates in several interdisciplinary programs and other educational opportunities beyond our core degree programs, both on and off the University of Washington’s Seattle campus. Other institutions in the region also have strong offerings.
UW Bachelor of Science in Applied & Computational Mathematical Sciences
This undergraduate program leading to a Bachelor of Science degree through the College of Arts & Sciences is jointly offered by the Allen School and the departments of Applied Mathematics, Mathematics, and Statistics.
UW Master of Science in Data Science
The UW M.S. in Data Science degree is a professional master’s program designed for students who want to begin or advance their careers in data science. The program is available full-time or part-time. It provides a practically focused, technically rigorous curriculum developed by the Allen School and multiple UW departments in conjunction with the eScience Institute.
UW Master of Science in Technology Innovation at the Global Innovation Exchange
The M.S. in Technology Innovation accelerates tech careers. Top students from around the world are immersed in a rigorous interdisciplinary curriculum, matched only in its intensity by its career rewards. Through one-of-a-kind, challenge-based experiences with leading tech companies, students learn by doing–gaining practical knowledge through a STEM-designated degree that blends engineering, business, and design, all culminating in a six-month industry-sponsored capstone.
The Align Master of Science in Computer Science from Northeastern University’s Seattle campus
Northeastern’s Align program equips students with the knowledge and practical skills they need to transition into computer science, regardless of their background and bachelor’s degree. The Align program offers rigorous academic bridge courses that prepare students for master’s level coursework. Align MSCS students gain real-world work experience through a six- to eight-month co-op or internship. Contact khoury@northeastern.edu to learn more and hear from UW alums in the program.
