Why This Degree?
Data analysts are in high demand. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), the employment of data analysts is projected to grow 35% from 2022 to 2032, much faster than the average for all occupations. This surge is largely attributed to the increasing reliance on data across all sectors, from healthcare and finance to retail and beyond.
