Heck, when I was in school of CS degree, some people from literature undergraduate went straight to CS graduate programs without too much a pain.

Tuned out programming never really required much math background, it is the level brain teaser that programming posed is as much as math education. So anyone who's has survived math advanced degree would take program like piece of cake, but it doesn't mean people from non-STEM background is hopeless to master data science.

Yet it's a joke to refer data science without referencing to advanced math concept. Albeit significant domain knowledge, data science is not just business analysis aided with spreadsheet. Modelling is an essential part of.
