Program details

Overview

This undergraduate programme in Data Science teaches students to use statistical methods, computational techniques and data analysis to extract meaningful knowledge from data. Students choose one of three streams - Business, Health, or Computational Arts - and complete a fourth-year capstone project involving hands-on research on real-world problems with industry professionals and organizations. Applicants apply to either the Bachelor of Arts (OUAC code YYW) or Bachelor of Science (OUAC code YYY) route, with the BSc route requiring an additional senior science course beyond the BA prerequisites. The programme is offered within the Faculty of Science, is delivered on campus at York University's Keele Campus, and admits students in the Fall, Winter and Summer terms for both first-year and upper-year entry. Graduates are prepared for careers in data analysis, business intelligence and applied data science across industry, health and creative sectors.
