According to Gartner's forecast, more than 75% of businesses will adopt Artificial Intelligence by 2024, resulting in a fivefold growth in streaming data and analytics systems. To accommodate this expansion, Canada's government anticipates creating over 13,500 digital technology positions and 16,000 AI-related jobs within the next decade.

This rapid industry growth creates significant opportunities for professionals skilled in data interpretation, communication, and innovation within data-driven markets. Traditional computing skills (including programming, software development, and quality assurance) remain equally in demand.

Saint Mary's Master of Science in Computing & Data Analytics (MSc CDA) is a 16-month graduate program that equally emphasizes two critical growth sectors:

Software engineering: design, development, customization, and system management
Data intelligence: collecting, storing, processing, and interpreting large datasets to enhance operations, innovation, and strategic decisions
The MSc CDA program specializes in training top-tier computing and analytics experts capable of leading organizational transformation. Through hands-on learning and strong industry partnerships, the program equips graduates for successful careers in these evolving fields.
