The worlds of science, engineering, and business are now reliant on data-driven analysis and decision making. Data Science is the 21st-century discipline formalizing this process, and making enormous impacts in new scientific discoveries, engineering how the world works, and driving business decisions that power much of our economic growth. A data scientist is one who can weave a complete story with data, from its humble and messy beginnings, through its maturation via sophisticated analysis, and concluding with an explanation of its real-world impact. This program teaches both technical data processing (programming, data wrangling, data management) and data analysis (machine learning, data mining, visual analytics) skills, and also guides students through the complicated explainability, ethical, and domain integration challenges.
