The study predicted a shortfall by 2018 of nearly 200,000 data scientists and 1.5 million managers with the capability to make decisions using big data in the United States alone.The dramatic growth of data in every conceivable industry, from oceanography to market research, presents another major driving force in generating unprecedented global demand for data science skills.This course is designed for students interested in a leadership position as a data scientist, or pursuing an academic career in data science.CareersThis degree prepares data scientists for leadership positions in teaching, management and research. There are opportunities for developing a career on a national and international level.
