Use scientific methods to develop data-driven solutions
The Bachelor of Arts in Data Science program offers a curriculum that focuses on developing analytical and technical skills necessary for analyzing massive amounts of data and extracting information from complex data sources.
As a data science major you will learn how to collect and analyze data, how to determine which tools and techniques are best for data collection and how to design programs in a variety of computer languages involving data processes.
Earning a Bachelor’s degree in data science requires taking a common core of courses in computer science, programming, mathematics and software during your first two years. After two years, you will select courses with a more narrow focus based on your interests.
For international students: this program is a STEM-designated program, which can qualify you to extend your post-graduation stay in the United States.
