“With the help of the data science degree from SMU, I have elevated myself. I have become more than who I was, because now I interact directly with clients. I solve a variety of new problems using what I’ve learned in the data science program to help them approach their own analytics issues.”

“The data science program at SMU has differentiated me by providing me with a foundation of skills. It provides you with the math. It provides you with the data-based type of areas. It provides you with security. It provides you with machine learning [skills]. It’s a lot of information that you learn, but it is the foundation for a data science career.”

“SMU is an important school, not only in this region, but nationally. To have graduated from that program – from the university – it means a whole lot. You don’t realize how much you’ve learned until you come out the other end of it, and you’re sitting in interviews and you’re thinking, ‘Wow. I understand this question. I’m not intimidated.’”
