The first of its kind in Missouri and the region, Northwest’s Data Science major is an interdisciplinary program with four areas of emphasis: computer science, business , molecular biology and geographic information systems.
The business emphasis is designed for students interested in analyzing data and projecting the best option for a client. Faculty focus on ensuring students have tools to analyze big data and make proper business decisions.
Data scientists are in high demand. A McKinsey Global Institute report estimates that by 2018, “the United States alone could face a shortage of 140,000 to 190,000 people with deep analytical skills as well as 1.5 million managers and analysts with the know-how to use the analysis of big data to make effective decisions.”
Job titles:
Examples of employers:
Students gain hands-on experience while participating in project-based learning that allows them to interpret actual data with faculty members.
Study Abroad is an opportunity for students to apply hands-on international experience to their academic development. Faculty members provide short-term study programs that prepare students before, during and after the program. Two types of study abroad programs are available: faculty-led and traditional study abroad.
The traditional program may be a semester, summer or year-long program and is taught by Northwest’s international partner institutions.
Core Requirements for a Major in Data Sciences and Informatics
Note: If MATH 17120 is also used to fulfill a Northwest Core requirement, the hours may be counted only once toward the 124 required for graduation. PHIL 39275 and ECON 52150 fulfill Northwest Core Requirements. CSIS 44130 is a prerequisite for CSIS 44141 and fulfills a Northwest Core Requirement. MATH 17114 is a prerequisite for CSIS 44155 and fulfills a Northwest Requirement. Business (27)
Established in 1905, Northwest Missouri State University is a state-assisted, comprehensive four-year regional university that also offers a broad range of undergraduate and selected graduate programs on its Maryville campus as well as its Northwest-Kansas City location at the Northland Innovation Center and through Northwest Online.
Northwest offers 127 undergraduate programs and 40 graduate programs. Career Services offers an "Exploring Majors" fair where students may learn about different majors and find a major that is the perfect fit for them. Northwest advocates for profession-based experience in every area of study.
