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.
