Why Choose Our Program?
Our Bachelor of Science in Data Science major provides students with a strong background in mathematics, statistics, and computer science and familiarity with all stages of data curation. Because data science is inherently interdisciplinary, it requires a minor outside of mathematics and computing science to create multi-faceted students ready to jump into a data-driven career.
As a student studying Data Science, you will be able to:
- Develop computational and statistical thinking
- Build the necessary mathematical foundations
- Develop competency in model building and assessment
- Build a strong foundation in algorithms and software
- Develop skills in data curation
- Develop strong communication skills
- Develop skills in a domain outside of mathematics and computing
This program is an interdisciplinary collaboration between the College of Arts & Sciences and Davis College of Business & Technology.
