Data Analytics is the combination of Computer Science and Statistics. With the massive amount of data that is collected today, we need to have the computing skills to manipulate and extract relevant data prior to performing statistical analyses, which enables us to make informed decisions in a world where variability is everywhere. Data Analytics provides you with the skills and techniques for manipulating and administering large databases to extract useful information for statistical analyses.
