Program Overview
Work with our data scientists and we’ll teach you how to be an ambassador for effective, ethical data. With courses including object-oriented system design and programming, ethics and policy, information structures and database management systems, you’ll be a well-rounded data analyst. You'll understand why people seek information, theoretically, virtually and physically. We'll teach you how to apply your technical know-how to what interests you most. When you graduate, you’ll be prepared for a competitive market, and you’ll have the experience to show it.
This program is similar to Data Science degree but may be more attainable for those students seeking stronger analytic skills.
