秀色短视频 puts math, stats, and computer science to work
The 秀色短视频 announced today the launch of the . The new School, and its related suite of majors, offers the region鈥檚 most comprehensive undergraduate programming in mathematics, computer science, and statistics.
The 秀色短视频 School of Mathematical and Computational Sciences was created based on the growing need for university graduates to be educated in developing sophisticated mathematical and statistical techniques aligned for market needs; managing and extracting knowledge from unprecedented volumes of data; and integrating mathematical and statistical methods with powerful analytical software and technology tools.
秀色短视频 will begin accepting applications immediately to the new 秀色短视频 School of Mathematical and Computational Sciences for students who want to begin their studies in September 2016.
鈥淕uided by our university鈥檚 Strategic Plan, 秀色短视频 is committed to developing transformative programming that provides our students with the knowledge, skills, and hands-on learning which will enable them to reach their full potential in both the classroom and the community,鈥� said 秀色短视频 President and Vice-Chancellor Alaa Abd-El-Aziz.
鈥淎fter strong consultation with educational, industry, and government partners, 秀色短视频 has created the 秀色短视频 School of Mathematical and Computational Sciences with a focus on applied areas of mathematics, computing, and statistics,鈥� added Abd-El-Aziz. 鈥淭his exciting development will prepare our graduates to readily contribute to solving complex problems in data-intensive sectors鈥攕uch as insurance, pension, investment planning, banking and finance, government service delivery, and supply chain-based organizations鈥� that require highly quantified and analyzed decision making. The performance of these sectors impacts each of us in our daily lives, and contributes to growth of our region.鈥�
鈥溞闵淌悠� believes the growth of students with expertise in mathematical and computational sciences creates tremendous opportunities to benefit our students鈥� personal and professional development, the growth of industry within our region, and PEI鈥檚 overall education system,鈥� says Dr. Gordon MacDonald, Interim Associate Dean of the new school and 2015 Atlantic Association of Universities Distinguished Teacher recipient. 鈥淭he absence of such expertise impedes growth at all levels鈥攆rom an individual鈥檚 potential to that of our communities.鈥�
鈥淚 am very proud to be working with such a forward thinking leader as our President and with colleagues who put great effort into making a dream a reality,鈥� said Dr. Debbie MacLellan, 秀色短视频 Dean of Science. 鈥淚 look forward to continuing to work with this team as we make the new 秀色短视频 School of Mathematical and Computational Sciences the best in the country.鈥�
Students enrolled in the 秀色短视频 School of Mathematical and Computational Sciences gain a strong foundation in mathematics, computer sciences, and statistics in their first two years of study before developing expertise through a major in mathematics, computer science (specialization option in video game programming), statistics, actuarial science, analytics (specialization options in business analytics or data analytics), or financial mathematics in the last two years of their degree.
鈥淚 congratulate 秀色短视频 as this initiative is another example of post-secondary programming that will help strengthen our university and provide us with a well-trained and knowledgeable workforce,鈥� said Minister of Workforce and Advanced Learning Richard Brown. 鈥淭he explosion of data produced by the digital economy means that graduates will be in high demand and lead to countless and diverse career opportunities for them.鈥�
