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.
