BA/BS in Data Science

The Data Science bachelor's degree draws on computing, math and the analysis of data. Students learn Python programming, working with tables, program flow, sampling, charting, testing and fixing code while working with real datasets. Faculty offer office hours, advising, research mentoring and travel to conferences. The program sits in the College of Computing, whose Enterprise teams give project experience. Career titles for graduates include analysts for business intelligence, mining engineers for data, architects of data systems and scientists. A separate BS in Environmental Data Science is also available. Students study at Michigan Technological University in Houghton, Michigan, where undergraduate research, Enterprise project teams and campus activities extend learning beyond the classroom. Tuition, scholarships and admission requirements are published separately by the university. The university website lists advisors, course outlines and degree audits so that applicants can plan their studies in advance and compare options.
