San Francisco is the thriving global center of the current revolution in data science, where hundreds of start-up and established companies collaborate and compete to develop new ways of solving business problems, building strategies and driving innovation by unlocking the value of data.
Big data is everywhere. It’s found in billions of purchases made each day by consumers, and in billions of online interactions throughout the world. It’s found in the world’s transport and telecom networks, environmental and energy sectors, government sectors and financial institutions, retail products and health services – in all fields of human activity!
Data scientists who unlock the power of data and apply it in previously unimaginable ways are in short supply – and have opportunities to make a difference for industries and in people’s lives! The MS in Data Science trains you to scrape, process, organize and analyze data sets to identify patterns and trends. The Data Science Program is a STEM program in the U.S. – where you have the option of employment for 3 years after completion of this program.
The program also offers Practicums to all students – where the program places you with a client as part of a data science project. Practicums (mentored internships) provide real-world experience at a San Francisco company, where you can network with experts in the field and develop valuable professional skills in data science.
