BS Data Sciences

The Department of Computer Science offers a 4-year program leading to a BS (Data Science) (Bachelor of Science in Data Science) degree. BS Data Science BS (Data Science) has a dual emphasis on basic principles of statistics and computer science, with foundation training in statistical and mathematical aspects of data analysis. This program, in addition, develops foundation on broad computer science principles, including algorithms, data structures, data management and machine learning. The program is suitable for student is interested in either a career in industry or who wish to pursue more specialized graduate study. This program will prepare students for a career in data analysis, combining foundational statistical concepts with computational principles from computer sciences. A major component of this degree is the final year two-semester project that teaches students how to apply statistical and computational principles to solve large scale, real world data analysis problems. BS (Data Science) is a four-year degree program.
