The Bachelor of Science in Data Science is designed to prepare future professionals with the mathematic, computer information system, statistic and analytical skills to manage and understand the data that fuels growth across sectors.

For many businesses and industries, data (and the insights the University of the Incarnate Word provides) is the key to future – and they need professionals equipped with the necessary skills to collect, analyze and interpret that data. Data scientists possess a highly specialized skill set – like data mining, analysis and computer languages – that industries depend on to help identify the trends, risks and opportunities that inform their growth and progress.

The Bachelor of Science in Data Science is a program integrating higher mathematics, computer information systems, statistics, machine learning and programming. Through this combination of courses and skill development, students will build a strong foundation in the fields of study that make them sound logicians, information analysts and highly coveted in the job market. Data Science majors can further tailor their education through elective courses that emphasize data mining, design, predictive analytics, business intelligence and more.
