Demand for Data Scientists

The business world is rapidly transforming into a data driven one. There is a deluge of valuable data being generated in every facet of business, rightfully earning the moniker "Big Data”. The analysis of this avalanche of data has become of paramount importance in making business decisions. It is becoming increasingly apparent that those who have the skills to analyze big data will be the most sought after in the future.

A recent study by McKinsey Global Institute projects that about 500,000 jobs requiring data analysis skills will be created by 2018, with a shortage of about 190,000 jobs representing a gap of 50% to 60% between supply and demand. Another recent MIT Sloan School of Management survey reports that four in ten companies surveyed reported that the lack of professionals with data analytics skills as a key challenge. Data scientist jobs have increased steadily over the past few years and will continue to do so in the future.

The NJCU M.S in Business Analytics and Data Science program is designed to cater to this burgeoning need for analytics and data science professionals in various industries such as finance, marketing, retail and accounting. The program will also prepare students to take the Certified Analytics Professional (CAP) certification.
