Department Summary
The Department of Applied Data Science offers academic programs to
address the emerging workforce demands of interdisciplinary talents
who design and deploy intelligent solutions to real-world data
challenges. Students acquire a comprehensive understanding and
knowledge of the principles, methodologies, and technologies of
data science. Silicon Valley is known for its leadership in the big
data economy and its demand for talent in response to the
exponential growth of data. The department continuously seeks
guidance from leading data professionals and companies to ensure
that the curriculum is relevant for growing the talent needed in
Silicon Valley.
Local data professionals regularly interact with our students
through teaching classes, speaking at seminars, sponsoring
internships, and supervising capstone projects. Faculty members
actively engage with industry partners and sponsors to assess our
curricula and update learning objectives to provide the most
up-to-date skills for supporting innovations in this region.
The department is an academic hub, in partnership with other SJSU
departments and industry partners, for promoting education and
research in applied data science. To address the immense demand for
data science professionals, the department launched an MS in
Data Analytics program in August 2018. This program provides
students with the advanced education necessary to draw insights
from real data and apply analytical skills to solve practical
problems. Currently, 200 students are enrolled in the program, with
continued plans for future growth.
