Amassing huge quantities of data and applying statistical analysis can easily lead to meaningless, if not misleading, results. Powerful computers and sophisticated statistical algorithms can process data to find patterns and trends, but they cannot, by themselves, explain the data and predict in a way that makes sense. Data scientists, on the other hand, are able to extract insights from the data, construct a narrative, and provide solutions. In Illinois Tech's master's degree in Data Science program, you learn how to explore data using high-level mathematics, statistics, and computer science. You will learn how to analyze data, visualize your results, and articulate your discoveries. You will learn to think critically and communicate your insights. You will become a better decision-maker by knowing which questions to ask and by understanding the ethics of working with data. Working professionals can complete the degree in two years of part-time study through a fully online curriculum. The program is also offered to full-time students on Illinois Tech's Mies Campus.
