MS in Data Science

It’s no exaggeration to say that data science shapes the very world we live in. Businesses, government entities, and nonprofit organizations make decisions every day based on enormous amounts of raw data. Before they can make those decisions, though, they need people who know how to make sense of it all.

Data science combines statistics, engineering, artificial intelligence, applied mathematics, and more to give meaning to all that information. It reveals the patterns behind complex and unstructured data sets that might otherwise seem unrelated. Those insights help organizations of every kind determine their next steps.

About The Programme

According to Glassdoor, when factoring in job satisfaction, job availability, and earning potential, data science careers are some of the best in the nation. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects that data scientist jobs will grow at an astonishing rate of 36% over the next several years: more than seven times the average rate for all occupations (It should be noted that all these figures were themselves determined using data science.).

Right now, demand for skilled data science professionals far outpaces the supply. Employers worldwide say that there aren’t enough people with the skills they need to fill certain positions.

All of that data points to one clear conclusion: there’s never been a better time to get a Master’s Degree in Data Science.
