The demand for data analysts is growing exponentially, and it is a niche that not just anyone can fill. The effective analyst must be adept at discovering meaning and value in data and presenting the results with clarity and persuasiveness. Indeed, practitioners in this field work at the intersection of science and art. Alberto Cairo aptly refers to it as a truthful art. Newman University is excited to offer this distinctive program, as the art and science of data analytics extends our mission to empower graduates to emerge as leaders and transform society.
