The Bachelor of Science in Data Science program equips students with the skills and knowledge needed for a successful career in the industry and for advanced studies across various disciplines. This program uniquely integrates quantitative analysis and computer science, distinguishing it from other fields.

Students engage in hands-on projects and explore programming languages such as Python and R, delving into machine learning algorithms, data visualization techniques and database management. This practical approach provides invaluable experience in analyzing complex datasets.

A key component of the curriculum is its focus on data ethics, preparing graduates to navigate diverse contexts responsibly. Capstone projects allow students to apply their knowledge to real-world problems, promoting critical thinking and innovation. The program also emphasizes professional development, including technical communication and teamwork, ensuring that graduates are well-prepared for a dynamic career in data science and equipped to excel in this rapidly evolving field.
