The education requirements for data scientists are among the steepest of all IT occupations. Approximately 40% of data scientist positions require an advanced degree, such as a Master's, MBA or PhD. Others companies will accept data scientists with undergraduate diplomas in an analytical concentration, such as Computer Science, Math & Statistics, Management Information Systems, Economics, Engineering and Hard Sciences.
