Learn by Doing in a Hands-on Environment

As a Data Science and Analytics student at Marist, you’ll have a wide range of opportunities to apply your classroom learning in a hands-on environment. One of the most exciting and popular events for our students is an annual conference called DataFest during which teams of undergraduates from many colleges and universities work around the clock to find and share meaning in a large, rich, and complex data set. During the competition, students are exposed to large, complex data sets and are able to apply what they have learned in real-world scenarios.
