Artificial Intelligence & Data Analytics Concentration

The world is powered by data, and it’s growing fast. Every day, more than two million terabytes of new information are created, driving demand for experts who can make sense of it. Careers in Artificial Intelligence and Data Analytics, including Data Scientist, Machine Learning Engineer, and Data Engineer, are ranked as No. 3, No. 6, and No. 7 on Glassdoor’s ranking of the 50 Best Jobs in America for 2022, and have median salaries ranging from $113,000 to $130,000.

Both inside and outside of the classroom, you will have the opportunity to apply your developing skills to benefit real people. Our program includes numerous Immersive Learning opportunities, such as Computer Science for Muncie (and surrounding schools), working with local technology company Accutech, developing software for Minnetrista, or working with real community partners within the senior capstone sequence.

Computer science pairs well with other STEM majors, including mathematics, physics, chemistry, and biology. In addition, it is appealing to add a major in business, entrepreneurship, accounting, or finance. And, yes, you can pair a computer science concentration in data analytics & machine learning with a second concentration in computer science, such as web & mobile app development.
