About the course

There has been an explosion of data over the last decade. Everything that people do like listening to music, streaming shows, using social media or rideshares generates data. In fact, almost everything that goes on in the world today is measured and recorded somewhere. Analyzing that data can vastly improve human lives and business performance. So, it?s not surprising that analytics are now used routinely even in fields that did not use much data before like the Arts, Music, and Creative Writing. Analytics are also extensively deployed in Business, Engineering and Manufacturing and Government and even in many not-for-profit sectors like education, fundraising and social welfare. It is safe to say that virtually all human activity that affects our lives uses analytics in some way today.

　　The MSDS at UWM is unique because its goal is to train graduates to practice data analytics in a field they are most passionate about. For example, if your interest is healthcare, you can become a data analyst in healthcare. If your passion is education, you can get the training to become an analyst in the field of education. The MSDS is therefore designed to give you the flexibility to build a career in data science in whatever field you want. Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
