The Data Edge:
How Weber State’s MSDS Program Empowers Working Professionals

The leap into advanced data science can feel like a daunting technical hurdle for organizations, companies, and professionals looking to stay current. Carson Snell, a professional pricing analyst, initially felt that way in his journey, especially remembering his high school days, when three years of coding classes failed to click. However, his search for a graduate program that balanced the rigors of technical training with flexibility to successfully maintain his career and young family led him to a brilliant destination: Weber State University. As the only institution in the area offering a dedicated Master of Science in Data Science (MSDS) at the time, Weber State provides more than just a degree; it offers a strategic "edge" for professionals looking to turn raw information into a competitive career advantage for them and their companies.
