The major in Data Science combines coursework from these areas with a separate disciplinary focus so that an undergraduate majoring in Data Science may have ample opportunity to apply analytical techniques to problems of interest. This major will prepare students to utilize skills and practices of data science, thereby preparing them for many careers, connecting to a wide range of areas of study. It will teach students a variety of ways to use data to discover findings and communicate those findings appropriately. This program will also contribute to the application of and growth of data science in ethical ways.
