One of the major outcomes of the program is to provide students with hands-on experience with a variety of the most ubiquitous analytical tools available for the purpose of organizing large data sets. At the same time, students will acquire fundamental knowledge and skills in data science that will equip them to adapt to future changes in tools, technology, and the marketplace.
