Center for Data, Mathematical and Computational Sciences

Ramapo College’s Center for Data, Mathematical and Computational Sciences (CDMC) is a collaboration between our Data Science, Computer Science and Mathematics departments. CDMC primarily supports Ramapo College’s three Master of Science degrees in tech – Applied Mathematics, Computer Science and Data Science.

The mission of the Center is to:

Promote a modern image of liberal arts, where quantitative skills and digital literacy are recognized as critical to all disciplines.
Produce graduates at the undergraduate and graduate level that are skilled and credentialed, in applying technical concepts to real-world problems.
Drive impact by embedding students and faculty in mission-driven organizations and to serve as a resource to the community, to solve real-world problems with data and technology.

Undergraduate Degrees

Graduate Degrees

All of our MS degrees can be completed within 18 months and include in-person and online asynchronous classes. You can complete the degrees in 18 months while coming to campus no more than one night each week from 6pm-9:15pm!

All programs accommodate part time, working students – you can work at whatever pace fits your schedule!

MS Applied Mathematics

MS Data Science

MS Computer Science

5 year B.S. to M.S. Option (4+1)

If you are a Ramapo undergraduate, you can finish your MS in even less time – just one extra calendar year and with a 30% savings on tuition.

A key feature of our MS programs is the opportunities for students to complete their BS and MS degrees in just 5 total years at Ramapo, through our 4+1 pathways. Students majoring in Computer Science, Data Science, Cybersecurity, Mathematics and Bioinformatics as undergraduates can enroll in any of our MS degree pathways – allowing them to complete graduate courses as seniors and earn their Master’s degree in the following year.
