Data science is driving innovation and change across nearly all industries. In the era of Big Data, the field of applied data science is focused on uncovering valuable insights hidden in the vast amounts of data produced every single day (2.5 quintillion bytes, by some estimates).
Motivated by the challenge of helping to train current and future data scientists for the important work ahead, the University of San Diego offers this innovative, online degree program — the Master of Science in Applied Data Science — through USD’s Shiley-Marcos School of Engineering.
The master of applied data science program has been developed by data science experts in close collaboration with key industry and government stakeholders to provide in-depth practical and technical training designed to position graduates for career success in this vitally important and fast-growing field.
The faculty members selected for the MS-ADS program possess a unique combination of government, academic, and industry experience spanning enterprises focused on technology, engineering, business, marketing, education, and more.
“The demand for data scientists is swiftly growing across industries as organizations work to leverage data for empowered decision-making,” said Matthew C. Vanderbilt, UC San Diego Director of Business Analytics & Fiscal Affairs and Lecturer at USD. “The USD MS-ADS program strategically positions graduates to advance in this field by providing strong foundational and advanced analytics skills introduced through real-world examples taught by active industry experts. Students graduate with the technical skills to identify opportunities from disparate data, as well as the soft skills necessary to communicate actionable information.”
Accreditation is an important quality indicator for college and university degree programs, generally regarded as a stamp of approval that ensures you will be able to apply for financial aid and transfer your credits if you decide to switch schools. Most state universities and private non-profit universities will have regional accreditation. The University of San Diego has earned both regional and national accreditations.
The WASC Senior College and University Commission – WASC is a regional accrediting agency that is recognized by the U.S. Department of Education as certifying institutional eligibility for federal funding in a number of programs, including student access to federal financial aid. Learn more about the importance of selecting a regionally accredited program.
