Program details
Overview
This program awards a Bachelor of Science in Data Science from the University of Calgary's Faculty of Science, delivered on campus. It combines methods from statistics and computing with domain-specific knowledge to interpret data, including examining the possibilities and limits of machine learning and how human factors influence data collection and presentation. After a foundation in statistics and computing, students choose a concentration from more than 25 fields, completing six required courses in that area with at least two at the 400 level, and undertake capstone projects using real-world data through team-based work. Core courses include linear methods, university calculus, discrete mathematics, introductory computer science for multidisciplinary studies, and introduction to data science. The program suits students who want to combine quantitative and computing skills with a chosen subject area. Career paths mentioned span technology, retail and marketing, logistics and transportation, government and non-profit work, the natural sciences, and medicine or public health, in roles such as data scientist, analyst, or machine learning specialist.

Application Details
Application Deadline:For Fall 2027 entry, the University of Calgary opens undergraduate applications for domestic applicants on 1 October 2026 and for international applicants on 15 August 2026, both closing on the same firm application deadline of 1 March 2027, with supporting documents due by 15 March 2027 and offers accepted by 1 May 2027. International applicants follow the identical March 1 deadline; the university publishes no separate, later international closing date.
