BA/BS in Data Science

This major teaches students to write algorithms, build models and extract meaning from data. Coursework combines programming, statistics, mathematics and the communication of findings. During senior year, students enroll in a capstone where small teams tackle real analysis problems for outside clients, handling every stage from framing the question to reporting results. Student teams from the program have also earned recognition at a national statistics competition. Graduates can find work in business, government agencies, healthcare and nonprofits. Beyond technical ability, the program encourages creative thinking, clear communication and teamwork. The program therefore suits students who enjoy working with numbers and technology. Saint Vincent College is a Catholic, Benedictine liberal arts institution located in Latrobe, Pennsylvania, and it offers this program to its students.
