Additionally, you will gain a competitive edge through domain-specific specialization in disciplines of science and engineering. You will have the freedom to explore and develop your own interests in one or more domains.
What you'll work on
The Data Science program of Michigan Technological University is a flexible program allowing students to explore and develop their own interests in a rapidly expanding field. Data scientists occupy a unique niche in a variety of industries, from retail to finance to healthcare. At Michigan Tech, you can research sensors, develop pattern recognition algorithms, engineer intelligent machines, interpret medical data to determine risk, make predictions using data to improve the power grid, and more.
Where you'll work
The options are limitless. Producers of big data include, but are not limited to: social media corporations, e-health networks, telemetry devices and sensors, e-retailers, environmental agencies, and information security agencies. Data scientists frequently interact with stakeholders and decision makers to properly present the information produced with data science algorithms. A core skill is the ability to convey a challenging concept to someone who doesn’t necessarily understand data science.
