A program in data science puts graduates at the forefront of an emerging field and prepares them for an exciting career at the intersection of Mathematics, Statistics and Computer Science. Data Science is an interdisciplinary field of study that employs quantitative and analytical methods to gain insights and make predictions based on big data. Students learn about key computational methods and machine learning techniques and develop the deep analytical thinking skills needed to reason reliably, intelligently, and creatively from data. The vast amounts of data generated every day has created a data-rich and data-driven world. The data science major will open pathways to careers in virtually every area of society, from healthcare, security and sustainability to education, business and economics.
Data Science is the domain of study that deals with vast volumes of data using modern tools and techniques to find unseen patterns, derive meaningful information, and make business decisions. Data Science uses complex machine learning algorithms to build predictive models.
