Data Analytics
Innovative Data-Driven Solutions Build a Brighter Tomorrow

The Bachelor of Science in Data Analytics was first offered at WSU in Fall 2015 with 10 majors. In Fall 2024 the degree had a total of 237 students with numbers increasing every year. Our students are well-trained in Math, Statistics, Computer Science, and Data classes along with their chosen field of application.  Data Analytics is one of the most sought-after professions these days. In our student-centric program, we educate students in the art and science of data and give them hands-on training through internships and capstone projects. This program is the first four-year program to be given the “Career Launch” certification by Career Connect WA, enabling internship opportunities for our students. Our ultimate goal is training of well-balanced, knowledgeable, ethical data citizens who will play a crucial role in building the future for generations to come! 

Our 2021 alumni Jessica Smith (currently employed by Amazon Business Intelligence) says “My experiences in the Data Analytics program have provided me with the qualifications needed to enter a highly quantitative and analytical field with excellent career growth potential. The mentorship and support I received from program faculty was critical in giving me the confidence and skills I needed to transition into the workforce and be successful in a professional role.”
