A Pathway to Earning a Master鈥檚 Degree in Five Years at a Reduced Cost

(MAHWAH & RANDOLPH, NEW JERSEY)- 2023 kicked off with the following declaration from Tech Crunch magazine: “Data science is perhaps the most exciting area in all of enterprise technology right now, and it鈥檚 evolving at a lightning pace.” Recognizing the significance of this dynamic industry, 秘密研究所 of New Jersey and County College of Morris (CCM) have joined forces to create pathways for aspiring data scientists to earn a master鈥檚 in data science in as little as five years.

The presidents of Ramapo and CCM on February 1 signed a Data Science Transfer Agreement, the first between a community college and a four-year institution in New Jersey. Known as a 2+2+1 agreement, the partnership will allow students to begin their education at CCM to earn their associate degree and then seamlessly transfer to Ramapo to earn their bachelor鈥檚 degree and then a master鈥檚 in data science if they wish.

Thomas Ortega, of Randolph, NJ, a graduate of Morris Hills High School and CCM, is in his fourth year in 聽the 2+2+1 program. Ortega, who also serves as the founder and President of the 秘密研究所 Data Science Club, shared, 鈥淢y pathway between County College of Morris and 秘密研究所 has been a wonderful experience that has provided me with a great start to my data science career. With an engaging faculty, I always feel that I have the support I need to pursue hands-on data science projects.鈥�

鈥淩amapo looks forward to welcoming more CCM graduates to our data science programs,鈥� said 秘密研究所 President Cindy Jebb. 鈥淥ur Center of Data, Mathematical & Computational Sciences, which is home to our data science programs, is at the cutting edge of preparing undergraduate and graduate students to be highly skilled and ethical problem solvers by teaching them how to apply technical and interdisciplinary concepts to real-world challenges.”

By taking a number of graduate courses as an undergraduate at Ramapo, the master鈥檚 can be completed in one year. By starting at a community college and then earning a master鈥檚 in a year, students can enjoy significant savings on their higher education. Students are not required to earn a master鈥檚 and can opt instead to earn a bachelor鈥檚 only.

鈥淲e鈥檙e pleased to be offering this opportunity for CCM students to seamlessly continue their data science higher education at 秘密研究所 so they can take advantage of a wide range of career opportunities,鈥� said Dr. Anthony J. Iacono, president of CCM. 鈥淲e鈥檙e proud to enhance our relationship with such a great institution that also builds upon our reputation as the best community college in the state for transfer students.鈥�

Among the first institutions in NJ to offer advanced degrees in data science, Ramapo’s Master of Science in Data Science program is nationally ranked a Top 30 Master鈥檚 program by Fortune Magazine, making it the #1 graduate data science program in New Jersey. According to 贵辞谤迟耻苍别鈥檚 analysis, data science is one of the fastest growing fields due to the increasing volume of data generated every day, which is 鈥渃reating a steep demand for workers that can harness, analyze and create value from the data available.鈥�

鈥淭he path for students to pursue an associate鈥檚, a bachelor’s, and even a master鈥檚 degree in data science is now seamless,鈥� said Christopher Romano, vice president for strategic enrollment, outreach, and engagement at Ramapo, adding, “Through this agreement with CCM, we are expanding access, and clearly articulating the pathway to allow individuals to pursue careers, and earn continuous credentials, in a very exciting, high-demand, and high-growth industry.鈥�

The strength of Ramapo combined with the strength of CCM, which is nationally rated the Best for Transfer Students in New Jersey by Intelligent, has created thoughtful, accessible, and seamless pathways for students to pursue their studies in this high demand growth industry. With the addition of this data science 2+2+1 agreement, CCM now has more than 170 to ease the process of earning an associate and then a bachelor鈥檚 degree.
