Data Science at UW-Milwaukee Gets You to Your Goals and Your Dreams

Built with your career in your chosen field in mind 

In the bachelor’s in Data Analytics and master’s in Data Science programs, students combine industry-specific coursework — for example, in health care or business — with math and programming coursework to forge a data career within a particular sector. This provides graduates with a skill set coveted by employers around the country.  

Built with your needs and format preferences in mind 

Our master’s in Data Science program is built with your needs in mind. We offer in-person, hybrid or online programs that will both boost your career and enhance your professional networking opportunities.

Built with you in mind 

Previously, students would need to double major in both math and computer science to pursue a career centered on data science. Now, you can take advantage of a pre-designed curriculum that includes selected courses from the two areas — even if you don’t have a previous background in them — to prepare for a career as a data scientist.
