Should You Earn a Master’s in Data Science or Data Analytics?

In the world of data, terms like “data analytics” and “data science” are often used interchangeably. But while both fields involve looking at and analyzing large data sets, there are major differences between them.

Data Science

While data scientists work within large data sets, the end result is more focused on technical skills, creating tools, systems and frameworks to help address theoretical situations and problems on a larger scale. Data scientists have an extensive background in statistics, computational methods and programming, enabling them to determine what approach is most appropriate for a given data set and analytical goal and are focused on asking the right questions to lead them to other avenues of study.

Data Analytics

Data analysts work in the entire lifecycle of data looking for action points to solve real industry problems. This means everything from gathering, managing, storing and transforming data, to analyzing and presenting it in a visually appealing and intuitive way. The information they gather can be used to make strategic decisions within their company, often improving upon the efficiency of the operation.

Start Your Master’s in Data Analytics

Data analytics can be an exciting career path for any individual with an interest in the intersection of science, business and engineering. At Clarkson, we welcome applicants from any academic or professional background in our data analytics programs.

Arvind Jagini, Current Student

How can a program this inexpensive also provide an outstanding education?

Our innovative self-paced design, combined with additional flexible course features, allow us to provide a high-quality education at a fraction of the price of most other programs.

Instead of professors lecturing at set times, setting due dates, requiring you to learn exclusively from their materials, or requiring you to be in a cohort, our PhD faculty have created coursework suited to your learning styles.
You decide how to learn, whether that is through the lectures, textbooks, and other resources provided, or others you prefer. You decide when you will complete assignments and exams within our 7-week terms. And you decide how many courses you take per term.
This maximizes flexibility to learn as a part of your busy work, family, and personal life, and lessens the need for expensive faculty input.

“I love how the Data Science program allows you to work at your own pace. With three kids and a full-time job, this has helped me balance my already busy schedule with school. The professors have been very responsive to questions and helpful in understanding exam questions.”

Marie Valadez, Current Student
