BS Data Science

The BS in Data Science equips the learner with knowledge and expertise that one needs to prevail in this metamorphosing world of data analytics. It is an interdisciplinary branch of science, hence pulling units from computer science, mathematics, statistics, and domain-specific knowledge with the intent of extracting insights that have high value from a set of big data. The other focal point in the BS in Data Science curriculum pertains to programming and data manipulation. It usually teaches students languages like Python, R, and SQL to work with data analysis, build predictive models, and create visualizations of data. Competencies in these aspects today are in high demand in virtually every data-driven sector, given the rate at which organizations depend on data scientists to help them make strategic decisions to outcompete competitors.This will include courses in database management, machine learning, data visualization, data analysis, and programming languages in Python and R. Furthermore, big data technology, data mining strategies, and statistical approaches are taught to students in the course of study. Graduated students who manage to attain a BS in Data Science can secure career opportunities as Data Analysts, Machine Learning Engineers, Data Engineers, Business Analysts, Data Scientists, etc., across diverse fields such as health, finance, marketing, technology, to name a few. Thus, the analytical and technical skills the students have acquired make the graduates extremely demanded in the context of a knowledge-based economy.
