Everybody and their mother is on the hunt for a data scientist, dubbed the “sexiest job of the 21st century,” by the Harvard Business Review.

New York University wants to train the next generation of data scientists

To train the next generation, New York University (NYU) has launched a data science and statistics initiative, which is intended to drive breakthrough research in other programs, including medicine and technology. The new website for the program cites research from McKinsey that projects the U.S. alone will need 140,000 to 190,000 people with deep analytic skills by 2018 as well as 1.5 million managers and analysts for “big data” jobs. NYU has created a Center for Data Science composed of faculty from across the university and will offer a variety of graduate-degree programs to its students. A two-year master’s program will begin accepting applications this month and will commence this fall.

In addition, the university plans to establish a doctoral program in the field. Machine learning expert Yann LeCun will lead the initiative. Colleges with Data Science Degrees. Yann LeCun's Home Page. Center for Data Science Master of Science in Data Science. Educating the next generation of data scientists The Master of Science in Data Science is a highly-selective program for students with a strong background in mathematics, computer science, and applied statistics.

Center for Data Science Master of Science in Data Science

The degree focuses on the development of new methods for data science. We live in the “Age of the Petabyte,” soon to become “The Age of the Exabyte.” Our networked world is generating a deluge of data that no human, or group of humans, can process fast enough. This data deluge has the potential to transform the way business, government, science, and healthcare are carried out. A new discipline has emerged to address the need for professionals and researchers to deal with the “data tidal wave.” 36 credits | 2 years The curriculum is 36 credits, half of which are required courses and half of which are electives. Both full-time and part-time students must complete all 36 credits (at least 24 credits in residency) within 5 years of enrolling at NYU as an MS in Data Science candidate.

We’ve heard a lot about how massive open online courses like Udacity are disrupting the traditional world of higher education.

Learndot Launches Its Learning Platform For Corporate Universities

Not too long ago, Learndot, which is officially launching today, wanted to be a part of this revolution, too. After beta testing their ideas for a P2P learning platform last year, however, the team decided that its service was better suited as a learning tool of corporate universities that need to train their employees. Learndot was originally founded as Matygo after going through Vancouver’s GrowLab accelerator about three years ago. The service, which later came to rely heavily on Google Hangouts to enable its video-based learning platform, never quite took off.
