School of Mathematics and Data Science Testimonials

UNE not only made it easy for me to connect with our faculty to add my second major in Data Science, but tie in my current area of study [in the marine sciences]. A Data Science degree will help me achieve a career that combines my love for marine science and engineering.

I’ve learned so much and used tools that I’ve never used before [as a first-year] in my math classes. I took the usual calculus and stats courses, but also took a Survey of Software Tools class. Our class worked with a lot of different online programs and web tools that were new to me.

I enjoy how there is such an emphasis on teaching and research in my math and science classes. The department is smaller than a larger state school, so you get to know all of [your professors] on a personal level.

Getting to work with real data and help make decisions for the department is real-life problem solving. It’s awesome.

[The small class sizes make it] so I’ve been able to easily connect with professors...and get more in-depth one-on-one time. It makes it easier to go to office hours or get more familiar with the professors.

With the outlook for computer science job growth at a staggering 15%, a rate faster than the average job growth for all occupations, I truly believe UNE’s curriculum for the Computer Science minor will set students with a fantastic foundation for rewarding careers in technology. It did for me!

I have been committed to a career in data science/analysis for a little over a year now and I'm glad I have found a perfect fit for me. My interest skyrocketed after taking the three statistics courses that are required for the math major.

My research would be impossible without a strong background in mathematics.

Regardless of the job market, there will always be a place for researchers who bridge the disciplines of math and biology.
