Kennesaw State University's Ph.D. in Analytics and Data Science is an advanced degree which has been developed to meet the market demand for Data Scientists.

This degree will train individuals to translate large, structured and unstructured, complex data sets into information to improve decision making. This curriculum includes a heavy emphasis on programming, data mining, statistical modeling, and the mathematical foundations to support these concepts. Importantly, the program also emphasizes communication skills - both oral and written - as well as application and tying results to business and research problems.

Because this degree is a Ph.D., it creates flexibility. Graduates can either pursue a position in the private or public sector as a "practicing" Data Scientist - where continued demand is expected to greatly outpace the supply - or pursue a position within academia, where they would be uniquely qualified to teach these skills to the next generation....

The purpose of the graduate program in Computer Science is to facilitate the student's continued professional and scholarly development. The Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) programs are designed to prepare the student to conduct research and development in an area of concentration.

Typical areas of concentration include:

The doctorate degree in Computing/Computer Science provides the future Ph.D. holders with the necessary skills and abilities to become successful academics demonstrating an excellence in research and making a significant contribution to the local and international research community in the field of Computing/Computer Science. Through a minimum of a 3 years period, candidates develop critical thinking, formulate their own opinions, acquire research culture, and become autonomous researchers able to plan, develop, implement and coordinate research studies as well as to the reason and present their findings to the international scientific community.

General Objectives... [-]

By its nature, the doctorate is multidisciplinary, covering three areas of knowledge that have been selected among the research lines with greater strength within the School of Engineering and Sciences. These areas interact with each other through projects, centers and focus groups.

The Knowledge Generation and Application Lines of the program are:

Entry requirements

Faculty of Engineering of the University of Rijeka presently implements the Postgraduate Doctoral Study in the area of Technical Sciences, in the fields of Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Naval Architecture and Fundamental Technical Sciences. Studies in the field of Computer Science have been provided at the Faculty of Engineering since 2008 for undergraduate level, and since 2011 for graduate level. In addition to Computer Science teaching activities at the undergraduate and graduate levels, which are carried out in accordance with the Bologna Declaration, the Department of Computer Science is also involved in research projects approved by the National Science Foundation, EU COST (European Cooperation in Science and Technology), University Support Programmes, and the Croatian Agency for SMEs, Innovation and Investments (HAMAG BICRO). The proposed study programme is based on the tradition of scientific postgraduate studies at the Faculty (since 1971), as well as on the teaching and research know-how in the field of Computer Science, and, as such, complements the educational and scientific potential within all areas encompassed in the Faculty’s activity scope....
