Overview
Data scientists study data, using extensive knowledge in math and statistics to analyze data sets and recognize patterns. The patterns inform predictive models and other insights that can guide an organization's future decision-making. The Master of Science in Data Science trains you to collect, explore, manipulate, store, analyze and present data so you can successfully navigate the data-rich workplace environments of the 21st century. Offered fully online through Arizona Online or in person at the University of Arizona's Tucson campus, this program also has a global option via a partnership with Great Learning.
