Big data is a term for data sets that are so large or complex that traditional data processing applications are inadequate to deal with them. Challenges include analysis, capture, data curation, search, sharing, storage, transfer, visualization, querying, updating and information privacy. The term "big data" often refers simply to the use of predictive analytics, user behavior analytics, or certain other advanced data analytics methods that extract value from data, and seldom to a particular size of data set.

Learning about Big Data Analytics can give students :

  1. The ability to define problems and articulate questions
  2. The ability to develop deep knowledge of data sources
  3. The ability to develop methods and tools
  4. The ability to stay current on emerging technologies, data types and methods
