BA-DSCI - Bachelor of Arts in Data Science

The purpose of the Bachelor of Arts in Data Science program is to train and produce an interdisciplinary data science work force to fill the growing need for this skill set across the state, region, and country. The target audience for this program includes students with high quantitative reasoning skills that have interest in mathematics and computer science, and also have the desire to develop innovative techniques to solve data-driven problems in a variety of disciplines. Students majoring in data science will interact with faculty from the Departments of Mathematics and Computing and Information Sciences, as well as choose a minor to support their data-sector interests. Throughout the major, students will engage with real-world problems and build a portfolio of data projects that will ready them for graduate study or an entry-level position in data analytics.
