Numbers, patterns, demographics, comparisons . . . if this is the stuff that gets you excited, there's a place for you in the field of Data Science.

This program provides data science students with analytical thinking and problem-solving skills as well as the computer science, mathematics, and information systems background necessary for a further Bachelor’s degree level study. Data Scientists utilize computer programming and scripting, database management, data analysis, statistical interpretation, data preparation and cleaning, and quantitative analysis to solve problems as a business or data mining analyst, data or machine learning engineer, or manager in the field of data science.

Data Science is one of the most highly sought after fields due to the abundance of need and a lucrative pay-scale. As local, regional, national, and global business continue to expand their data collection to inform their decision making, data analysts and scientists are becoming some of the most valuable assets that a company has.
