Information is everywhere, and more often than not, it’s the essential ingredient in making smart decisions. For companies and organizations to simply have information is not enough, though: think how useful a library is to someone who doesn’t know how to read. Data scientists are needed to delve into repositories of information with a scientific approach, methodically sifting the sands to reveal the knowledge that organizations need to move forward.
Data scientists are crucial players in virtually every organization, public or private. A data science education from UIC gives you a basic foundation in the field and allows you to choose an area that interests you: health care, marketing, manufacturing, transportation, communication, education, insurance, finance, science, security, retail, law enforcement, and beyond.
