What is Data? Structured data Unstructured data

Education Pick a relevant major Pick the right classes Real world Application Continued Learning Preferably STEM major: Math, Focus on two main subjects Show genuine interest in the Graduate School is almost Statistics, Engineering or during undergrad: Statistics focus of research mandatory for Data Science Physical Sciences and computer science Placement Display curiosity by talking Major doesn’t have to be Data Science courses include: with professors after class or ~91% of Data Scientist specifically math-focused and Time Series & Categorical office hours placements are from graduate data-focused, but you must be Data Analysis, Survival program able to apply data to the field analysis, Supervised & Participate in Professor led you study. Unsupervised ML methods research or create your own Continued learning even and Multivariate Data Analysis passion project beyond traditional schooling Programming Language & Learn from doing and early Tools: Python, R, SQL, SAS, failing (build confidence) EXCEL macro language (VBA) & JMP
