Data Scientist vs. Data Analyst Titles

The online MS in Data Analytics Engineering develops data scientists and analysts. Though the two titles can often share or overlap responsibilities and are sometimes used to mean the same thing, in the strictest definitions, they are different.

• Data scientists design the systems for handling data. They have a strong background in computer science and experience in building systems.
• Data analysts are generally subject matter experts. They have input into the systems that are designed, but their job is to mine the systems and leverage them to produce an actionable strategy.
