GRITEx Data Science Programs

DSc in Data Science Program Description

Data has become the cornerstone of many industries, from education, logistics, retail, healthcare, supply chain, and manufacturing to all levels of government. Organizations use data to provide better services and ensure their business success, but it requires ongoing work to gather, secure, and utilize it properly. DSc in Data Science or Data Scientist is the professionals that help organizations unleash the power of data to make informed decisions and drive growth.

DSc in Data Science 100% online program (DSCDS) is designed to help students get an edge in this dynamic, and emerging field. Not only will students gain in-depth knowledge of critical topics, but they’ll also learn from a curriculum that is aligned with the industry’s needs, including the specialization program structure. Students will also get the opportunity to get hands-on experience by joining and practicing research projects at GRITEx Research center.
