Data Scientist
SOC 15-2051
Data scientists turn messy data into decisions — cleaning and preparing it, building and validating statistical and machine-learning models, and explaining the result to people who will act on it. ⚠ There is no licence, no entrance examination and, for most people now working in the field, no data science degree: the occupation is older than the major.
Mathematics — 10 institutions, 467 completions. Linear algebra and probability are the mathematics the models are built from.
