What should i do a masters in? /u/BoringCelebration405 CSCQ protests reddit

Hi everyone,

I’m about to complete my Bachelor’s in Software Engineering this year, and I’m particularly interested in data science and machine learning. My plan is to gain 1-2 years of work experience (through a full-time job or internships) before pursuing a Master’s degree.

I’m considering programs in fields like Applied Mathematics, Computer Science, or Applied Computational Science and Engineering, ideally at a top 10-20 university.

I have two main questions:

1. Does this sound like a solid plan for advancing in the field?
2. Are these Master’s degree options well-aligned for developing a deeper specialization in data science/ML?

Additionally, I’d love insights into the career prospects for these types of degrees. Are there other programs or pathways I should consider?

Any advice or guidance would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!
