New PhD program in Data Science Approved by THECB!
The PhD program in Data Science has received approval by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board. Pending approval by SACSCOC, the program is set to begin as early as spring 2021. It will become UTEP’s 23rd doctoral program and the first one housed completely in the Mathematical Sciences Department. The PhD in Data Science will prepare and train individuals who can immediately obtain positions in business and industry that use data to guide decision-making. This program also involves applied training that will allow graduates to collaborate with others to drive innovation. Recent surveys suggest that there is currently a deficit of people with this type of training; in fact, over 40% of companies report not being able to find personnel for positions that require expertise in processing and modeling data to make decisions. The establishment of this program at UTEP will create a pipeline of data science professionals in the region and will be a unique and valuable contribution to data science education, both regionally and nationally.
Student interested in pursuing a PhD in Data Science at UTEP may find more information at the program's page on this website.
