Saint Peter\u2019s University has been offering<br \/>\na cutting-\u2010edge academic program to meet such demands and train the next generation of data scientists. The program prepares students for leadership roles in finance, retail, pharmaceutical, consulting, technology, and all sectors that need to leverage their data.<\/p>\n<p>Current graduates work at companies such as JP Morgan, 3M Health Technologies, FedEx and Goldman Sachs. Data Science with a focus on Business Analytics is the discipline that integrates scientific methods from statistics, com science and data-\u2010based business management to extract knowledge from data and drive decision making. The Master in Data Science curriculum provides students with a rigorous course of study in Big Data technologies, applications and practices. Please inquire with your advisor or Professor Robert Finn (rfinn@huangshizhaopin.com) in the Department of Comp &amp; Information Sciences for information on the MS in Data Science.<\/p>\n<p>This program is designed for students with a background in science, applied science, business, or economics.
