BA/BS in Data Science

Data Science is an interdisciplinary major resting on mathematics, statistics, communications and computing. Students learn to analyze very large data sets to solve practical problems in nearly any industry. Concentrations, including one in computer science, let students tailor their studies. The degree is taught on campus in the College of Natural Sciences and is not a competitive major. Prospective students can join an admissions tour or information session, which are offered throughout the year, and a college recruiter can answer questions about the major. Academic advising, internships and research chances give students ways to connect classroom learning to later work. Anyone unsure about fit can compare the university's other majors before deciding.
