Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math Pathway
Every industry using computing systems is awash in data. A scientific approach to analyzing data allows stakeholders to monitor processes and engage in informed decision-making.
CSM’s Data Science program is organized around core coursework teaching students to manage, explore, model, and visualize data for descriptive, diagnostic, predictive and prescriptive analysis. This program will provide students with the underlying mathematical and computational foundations, hands-on experience with industry standard statistical and programming tools, as well as exploration of current ethical issues in the field of data science.
This Data Science, AS Program is designed for transfer to four-year institutions requiring mathematical, computer science, information technology and data science preparation.
The coursework in this program prepares students for these industry professional certifications:
- PCEP - Certified Entry-Level Python Programmer
- PCAP - Certified Associate in Python Programming
- CompTIA ITF+ - CompTIA IT Fundamentals
What Data Scientists Do
To present their findings, these scientists often make use of data visualization. Data scientists use analytical tools and techniques to extract meaningful insights from data.
Data scientists typically do the following:
- Determine which data are available and useful for the project
- Collect, categorize, and analyze data
- Create, validate, test, and update algorithms and models
- Use data visualization software to present findings
- Make recommendations to stakeholders based on data analysis
