Data is one of the most valuable assets of companies, organizations and the government. It can affect scientific discovery, social interaction, political tradition, economic practice, public health and many other areas. The field of data science has emerged to address the ongoing growth of data and the need to manage and understand it.

Fontbonne University’s Master of Science in Data Science addresses society’s need for professionals who can extract meaning from data and convey the information obtained to those who need and use the information.
