Major Academic Plan (MAP) Associate in Arts & Sciences BS in Data Analytics Department of Information Systems & Business Analytics College of Business and Public Administration (CBPA) Why study Data Analytics? EWU offers a unique collaboration; courses from the Microsoft Professional Program in Data Science are integrated in a hybrid format into the final year of curriculum for students studying in this program. By completing this degree, you earn both a Bachelor of Science in Data Analytics from EWU and a Professional distinction in Data Science from Microsoft. As data science and analytics does not exist without the context of the discipline for which the data was collected – such as science, education, medicine, government, or business – you are strongly encouraged to major or minor in an additional discipline. Career Opportunities The development of large-scale data collection in recent years has resulted in a growing gap in the work force as employers struggle to find those with the broad skillset needed to navigate in this environment while developing the narrative of meaning that underlies the data. The Bachelor of Science in Data Analytics concentrates at the undergraduate level on equipping graduates with the hybridization of programming, information systems, applied statistics, management science, data analysis and decision support skills needed by these employers. Data Scientist is rated the best job in America for 2017, with a median base salary of $110,000 according to Glassdoor.
