BA/BS in Data Science

The data science major draws on computer science and statistics to examine large volumes of raw data, uncover patterns and support decisions across industries. Students master statistics, R and Python and take part in artificial intelligence, machine learning and data mining work. Two degrees are offered. The Bachelor of Arts has lighter mathematics requirements, leaving space for minors or a second major. The Bachelor of Science goes further and prepares students for industry jobs or graduate study. Both degrees let students choose major electives across several disciplines to apply data tools to a chosen field, with research, competitions and interview preparation along the way.
