Abstract

Over the past decade, the interest in data science careers has been unwavering. In 2001, Linkedin ranked data science specialists as one of its top jobs, and noted that hiring for these roles have grown nearly 46 percent since 2019. Yet there is still a significant data science skills gap in the market and part of the problem is education focused. Research conducted by the University of California, Riverside shows that fewer than a third of the US News & World Report's Top 100 Global Universities offer degrees in Data Science, and most programs are still taught at a graduate or PhD level.
