Lucas de Oliveira ’22
I knew that I wanted to go back to school for data science, but wasn’t sure if I wanted to do grad school part time while I worked or if I should commit to doing it full time. USF seemed to be the best mixture of a rigorous program, great faculty, quick turnaround time, and location. I was also impressed this program had ethical considerations around data.”
