Licenciatura en Ciencia de Datos

The emerging field of Data Science is based on the essential skills necessary to perform in a data-centric society. A data scientist is naturally interdisciplinary, with the ability to interpret and communicate findings and apply problem-solving, analytical, critical thinking, and decision-making skills in the workplace.

Five years ago, a bachelor’s degree in Data Science was nearly non-existent in the world. The field is one of the fastest-growing academic specializations, with over 70 programs nationwide in 2019. UMA’s online Data Science program engages students worldwide to fill the demand for data-driven decision-making in all sectors and industries.

UMA transforms the lives of students of every age and background across the State of Maine and beyond through access to high-quality distance and on-site education, excellence in student support, civic engagement, and professional and liberal arts programs.

UMA is the third-largest public university in Maine. In addition to its main campus in the state's capital, UMA also serves students at its campus in Bangor (UMA Bangor) and through UMA Centers around the state. With its multiple locations and long-term expertise in online and distance learning, UMA has generally considered the university of choice for Mainers of all ages who want to attend college without uprooting their lives.
