Miami-Dade College to Offer Undergraduate Degree in Data Analytics
Miami Dade College (MDC) will become the first educational institution in Florida to offer an undergraduate degree in data analytics.
The need for data analysts to prepare and analyze large data sets exists across all modern industries with average salaries in the six figures. A major impediment to the widespread use of big data is the lack of workers with the appropriate training and skills. Employment opportunities for data analysts are abundant in both public and private sectors, including healthcare, business, finance, manufacturing, energy, education, government, and science. Job titles include data analyst, database architect, data warehousing specialist, business intelligence analyst, and data scientist.
