        Data Science is one of the fastest growing technical fields in the world today, including here
        in the West Indies. In addition, Data Science is one of the highest paying fields due to
        the technical rigour both in Statistics and Computer Science required of its practioners.
        To this end, the Department of Computing and Information Technology and the Department of Mathematics
        and Statistics of The University of the West Indies have constructed a MSc. in Data Science to equip
        STEM professionals with the required skills to become productive and relevant Data Science professionals
        locally, regionally, and internationally.
