a Masters degreein Data Science in 2014. This is a two-year program covering courses in rigorous Math andprogramming, as well as courses entailing soft skills such as visual storytelling and consultingskills.One of the challenges for faculty on the admission committee in the past few years has beenselecting the best criteria for student admission. Typically, in engineering disciplines theadmission decision is based on students’ performance on courses such as calculus, physics andpre-engineering topics [1]. However, due to the nature of Data Science field the applicants comefrom very diverse undergraduate programs. For instance, some of our top graduating students hadan undergraduate degree in Creative Writing or Healthcare. We have

Even though the doctoral degree is more often a requirement in theirpositions and the importance of a doctoral degree for employment is greater—probablybecause of research work and employment in universities and universities of applied sciencesbeing more common for them than for Finns—they are still slightly less satisfied with theirdoctoral degrees in general when satisfaction is viewed as a binary variable.

Many students struggle to find a balance between the financialcost of college versus finding work immediately to assist their families15.Minority students are underrepresented in STEM fields for a multitude of reasons, one of thembeing a lack of high-quality mathematics and science education in high school16.

, the retention rate and graduation rate ofundergraduate students in STEM fields are typically low and there is room for furtherimprovement. The low retention and graduation rates may be due to not only the rigorouscurriculum of the STEM majors, but also economic and academic difficulties those studentsencounter. Financial support to students alone may not be sufficient to address the problems. The National Science Foundation (NSF) S-STEM scholarship program was established toencourage higher education institutions to develop academic activities to support undergraduatestudents in STEM fields to improve their retention and graduation rates, and further increasingtheir potential of career placement and graduate studies.
