Doctor of Philosophy in Data Science
The analysis, interpretation and application
of data has become the cornerstone of many
industries, from retail, healthcare and manufac-
turing to all levels of government. Organizations
use data to provide better services and ensure
their success, but it requires ongoing work to
gather, secure and utilize it properly. Data
scientists are the professionals that help
organizations unleash the power of data to
make informed decisions and drive growth.
Our Doctor of Philosophy in Data Science
program provides rigorous instruction in the
entire field of data science as a discipline
instead of a view of a few hot topics. Students
will study the entire data science life cycle
including research design, data acquisition
and manipulation, quantitative methods,
statistical interpretation, and data presentation
and visualization.
The curriculum emphasizies applied knowledge
and techniques using real-world data sets and
business problems. Specific areas of study
include data mining, big data integration,
predictive analytics, and visualization.
