Data Science

Data Scientists: High Demand

Both large and small companies collect and store massive amounts of data. They need data scientists that can provide actionable insight from the data. Our data science degree prepares individuals with the skills to program with, visualize, and interpret data for employers in this rapidly expanding field. 

The Job Field: Low Supply

A McKinsey study^[1] predicts that the number of data science jobs in the United States alone will exceed 490,000. Globally, demand for data scientists is projected to exceed supply by more than 50 percent. This demand will provide salaries similar to or better than computer science and engineering graduates.
