This major prepares students for a career as a data scientist. This is one of the nation’s most desirable careers. Since its rise as a profession, it has consistently been at or near the top of careers identified by glassdoor.com (a site which maintains statistics on professions), for its mobility, its ever-changing and interesting day-to-day duties, and its high salary. Moreover, this is a profession in high-demand both in nearby but international tech centers (e.g., Bay Area and Seattle), but also in the vibrant tech industry here in Utah (the Silicon Slopes). Students in this major can look forward to many meaningful internship opportunities, and job prospects after (and even before) they graduate.
