In today’s society, government, industry and many other institutions collect and analyze large amounts of data to further their goals, such as:
- Governments want to preserve homeland security and, therefore, study data on the activities of terrorist groups.
- Health and public administrators want to deliver health care efficiently to patients for whom they analyze data on patients’ needs and the cost of health care.
- Marketing analysts study online social networks to provide the foundations for new marketing campaigns.
- Financial analysts want to understand the relationships among different stock prices and economic indicators.
To address these growing needs, the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science and the Department of Psychology offer graduate and undergraduate certificate programs in Data Visualization and Analysis. This relatively new discipline trains students to communicate information clearly and effectively through graphic depictions that stimulate and encourage viewer engagement. The students learn how to analyze and portray complex data in an attractive and vivid design format.
