Data Science is a rapidly growing academic discipline fueled by the proliferation of rich and complex data emerging from activities in science, industry and governments. As a result, there is strong demand for data science professionals across the nation and globe, and this market is expected to continue to grow it the next decade. The data science programs are intended for students who wish to study the data science discipline for its own sake as well as for students studying any discipline with the goal of enabling them to work in data science. The courses in the data science program are designed to provide students with the requisite background that would enable them to take jobs with significant data science components e.g. establishing and operating data analysis pipelines. The capstone will provide an opportunity for students to apply data science concepts to a domain problem while working in a multi-disciplinary team setting. The university is an excellent opportunity for the exciting Data Scientist positions that are in high demand today.
