Data Science is the career choice today and in the future. Data Science is one of the highest growth rate disciplines among all STEM disciplines with the growth rate of 30% through 2030, projected by Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Data Scientists deal with the big and messy data in order to assist companies in making proper decisions. The data-driven approach undertaken by companies is assisted by Data Scientists who analyze big data to derive meaningful insights.
CMU’s Data Science program emphasizes both foundation and applications by requiring students take a major and choose an analytics minor in an application discipline for a total of 65-67 credit hours of course work. The program is designed to equip students with knowledge and skills in data management, computing and analytics modeling techniques, as well as strong communication skills required to work effectively with teams and clients.
