About Bachelor of Science - Data Science and Statistics
The interdisciplinary field of data science sits at the intersection between statistics, data analysis, and informatics in order to derive knowledge from data. It uses techniques and theories from many fields within the context of mathematics, computer science, information science, and domain science. Data science deals with the quantitative and qualitative data from images, text, sensors, transactions, and customer information, and emphasizes prediction and action.
In addition to general courses in Programming, Calculus, and Probability & Statistics, students will specialize in either the Statistics or the Data Science track. Through courses in mathematics and the interdisciplinary field of data science, students be well-versed to enter the field. Statistics is a branch of mathematics that deals with the collection, analysis, interpretation, and presentation of data. Data science blends the methods, processes, algorithms, and systems to extract knowledge from data and apply that knowledge across a broad range of applications.
