In an increasingly data-driven world, data science is a new type of literacy that can help you uncover cause and effect, predict outcomes, and communicate insights to different audiences. The data science field requires people with creativity, curiosity, training in scientific methods, and journalism/storytelling, in addition to math and statistics. Nationally, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor and Statistics, data scientists and mathematical scientists are reported in the top 15 fastest-growing occupations. With the right skills, you can take the lead in projects that benefit your employer— and/or your own resume. Montgomery College's innovative Early College program in Data Science provides Montgomery County Public School students an opportunity to experience college-level courses, accelerate the path to degree completion and entrance into the workforce, and save money on college tuition.
