Data Analytics

Mathematics impacts all sectors of society, and those with the ability to analyze data with it have a huge competitive advantage.

While obtaining a degree in Data Analytics you will become a master of analysis and problem-solving, honing your quantitative skills. You can go beyond classroom learning and gain valuable experience through research opportunities and guaranteed internships.

Top Reasons

Collaborative Research

Our mathematics instructors specialize in a broad range of areas and topics. You can go beyond classroom learning and engage in research with faculty. Develop your professional credentials by presenting your collaborative research findings at regional, national and international conferences.

Guaranteed Internship

At Florida Southern, you’re guaranteed an internship so you can see firsthand what it means to use math for a living.

A Universal Need

Due to the growing relevance of technology, big data, and economic efficiency needed by all organizations, expert numerical analysts are increasingly in demand. Because of their proper training and education, our majors find themselves well positioned to pursue lucrative careers in data analytics.

Learning Community

All of our first-year students begin by developing a camaraderie with other math majors through their learning communities. Learning communities are designed to help students persist in their studies and are focused on problem-based, integrative, and collaborative learning.

Job Placement

Our program prepares students for jobs in data analytics in many fields such as, sports analytics, educational analytics, and business analytics.

Independent Studies

At Florida Southern, our low student-faculty ratio allows students opportunity for an independent study with any faculty on any topic.

I have found that teaching is more than just presenting lectures to students. It is also building rapport with students and demonstrating a belief in their ability to succeed. I believe in teaching students to develop their computational and analytic skills. The students need to be actively engaged in the learning process. Learning is not a participatory sport. The student and the teacher must both be engaged in an active learning environment.

Participating in a differential Equations Modeling Challenge

SCUDEM Hosted by SIMIODE

The challenge is comprised of students in teams of three choosing a problem to model. Each team has a few weeks to develop a model and analyze it. At the end of the time, all the teams present their solutions for other teams to see. This type of event is a great way to meet students from other schools, and to see how other students thought about the same problem. FSC has been participating in SCUDEM since 2019. The teams that completed the challenge in 2019 and in 2020 both published their model summaries as experiential articles.
