Data Science is a new area of study and employment that is developing because of the need to analyze and understand vast amounts of data that are ubiquitous.
The data can be tables of numbers or text (such as tweets) or images (such as maps), and the goal is to learn how to acquire the data and use appropriate methods to extract information and answer questions using a combination of computer programming and data analysis.
The Bachelor of Science degree in Data Science is builds on basic courses from Mathematics,
Statistics and Computer Science. Majors take a sequence of Data Science courses
and also choose their own Area of Emphasis according to their interests. In the
final capstone project, majors complete data science projects motivated by their
Areas of Emphasis.
