Mathematics BS / Data Science and Analytics MS

With the emphasis on state-of-the-art statistical methods and experience with real-world data, graduates will be well positioned to assume careers in business, healthcare, governmental agencies, market research, and academia. The U.S. Bureau of Labor and Statistics projects job growth for mathematicians and statisticians to far exceed the average for all occupations (by roughly a factor of four) between 2020 and 2030. Careers open to students with an MS in Statistics include Market Research Analyst, Operations Research Analyst, Statistical Consultant, Insurance Industry Statistician, and Biostatistician among others. Students with a BS degree in Mathematics along with a MS in Data Science and Analytics may also choose to pursue further graduate study in Mathematics or Statistics (for example in KSU's PhD in Data Science and Analytics).
