Though the data science and data analytics majors, and the field itself, are relatively new, we have been training data scientists and analysts for many years. With the dramatic increase in demand for people with data skills, many of our recent graduates, coming from a variety of majors (math, computer science, economics, political science, etc.), have successfully entered this career. Some became data analysts immediately after graduation; others pursued a higher degree then became data scientists.
