BA/BS in Data Science

Data Science at Siena University is a program in the School of Science that offers two B.S. paths, a pure data science track and an applied data science track, along with an undergraduate minor. Students begin with Exploratory Data Analysis and Visualization, working in Python with real data and no prior experience required. The applied track pairs data skills with a second subject area such as marketing, public health topics, politics or sports management, with a substantial block of credits in the chosen field. Classes are small, and students work closely with faculty. Learning extends beyond the classroom through events such as the annual DataFest competition, where teams explore unfamiliar datasets together. The program is presented as the sole bachelor's data science offering in the Capital Region.
