Data Visualization

Master's Degree

  • Distilling and presenting vast amounts of data has become increasingly important to shaping opinion, policy, and decision making in all sectors. The Data Visualization master's program at Parsons School of Design is designed to meet a rising demand for experts who can take a design-led approach to data analytics. As a data scientist, you learn to reveal the messages hidden within raw information about society and nature. As a design artist, you learn to use color, shape, sound, and movement to turn these messages into visual stories that provoke insight and action.
