Faculty from the College of Business and College of Science consulted with industry experts\u00a0to design a curriculum consisting of five courses in mathematical and statistical sciences and five courses in business analytics and management.<br \/>\n\u201cStudents will be taught how to perform proper data analysis and then apply the results to datadriven managerial decisions,\u201d said Ellen Breazel, senior lecturer in the school of mathematical and statistical sciences. Breazel also said the degree\u2019s cohort model, which allows each incoming class to take classes together, will enhance collaboration and interaction in all their courses.<br \/>\n\u201cIt\u2019s also very conducive for companies that want to send a contingent of their employees to the program at one time,\u201d said Russ Purvis, associate professor of business analytics and information systems.<br \/>\nFor more information about the program, visit\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.clemson.edu\/graduate\/academics\/ms-dsa\/index.html\">www.clemson.edu\/graduate\/academics\/ms-dsa\/index.html .<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For the third year in a row, the number one job in the United States is data scientist, according to Glassdoor, and the Bureau of Labor Statistics projects there will be 11.5 million data science job openings by 2026.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":22550,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[922,2802],"coauthors":[],"class_list":["post-22231","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-in-these-hills","tag-data-science","tag-summer-2020-in-these-hills"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/clemson.world\/archive\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/06\/Ellen_Russ.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/clemson.world\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22231","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/clemson.world\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/clemson.world\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/clemson.world\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/clemson.world\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=22231"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/clemson.world\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22231\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/clemson.world\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/22550"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/clemson.world\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=22231"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/clemson.world\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=22231"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/clemson.world\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=22231"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/clemson.world\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=22231"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
