The MS in Quantitative Economics delivers structured thinking about empirical problems and incentives. The overarching goal of the program is to teach students to work with data in messy, real-world environments. During the program, students learn advanced econometrics for prediction and causal inference, computer programming, and receive training in the analysis of individual and group incentives. Students also learn how to use basic economics principles and experimental designs to help individuals and organizations make decisions with the aim of improving people’s lives.

The graduate architecture program exposes students to ongoing and evolving models of innovative trans-disciplinary collaborations inside and outside of the discipline of architecture and provides the needed skill set for graduating students to become leaders in industry.

Cal Poly’s Biological Sciences MS degree is a comprehensive, research-based program for advanced training in molecular biology and genetics, plant and animal ecology, marine biology, and biodiversity. The program offers outstanding opportunities in cutting-edge research combined with diversity and depth in coursework, which together prepare students for careers as professional biologists working to solve today’s most pressing challenges in medicine, environmental change, and conservation.

Computer Science is a discipline that requires broad knowledge in topics such as mathematics, logic, programming, computer organization and algorithms. All the while, it is also a discipline that includes many interesting sub-fields which require in-depth specialization, such as artificial intelligence, security, computer graphics, data science, computer vision, parallel computing and more. Obtaining a master's degree in computer science allows students to build on their breadth of knowledge and explore several sub-fields in depth. Master's students are able to engage in research projects with our faculty while working on their master's thesis, empowering them to join industry with in depth experience in the sub-field of their choice.

The Curriculum and Instruction program is an inclusive and welcoming professional learning community of school- and university-based teachers with a common goal of advancing teaching practice to foster learning for all students.
