Manage and analyze complex data sets

Through ¹ú²úÂ鶹AV’s Data Science program, you’ll develop a deep understanding of computer science, mathematics and information management — the three primary components of the data science profession.

As you work towards your B.S. in Data Science, program coursework will teach you:

  • Mathematical foundations in data analysis
  • Technical skills for data processing and application development
  • Advanced machine learning and statistical modeling techniques
  • Analytical and communication skills to explain results in a meaningful way

You’ll take a common core of courses in computer science, programming, mathematics and software during your first two years, after which you will select data science 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.
