The major emphasis in 数据科学 is available to students majoring in CIS. The curriculum focuses on computer modeling, 可视化, and data analysis across large sets of information for the purpose of complex problem solving. 课程 like 信息可视化, 数据科学 and Advanced Data Analysis give students a strong foundation in 数据科学 concepts that benefit them in internships and early career opportunities.
The minor in 数据科学 is available only to students not majoring in CIS. Like the 数据科学 major emphasis, it will introduce students to the practice of data science, an interdisciplinary field which includes statistical analysis and modeling, ethical data collection and storage, 信息可视化, 计算机编程, and oral and written communication. 课程 like Advanced Data Analysis, 实验心理学, 基因组学, 业务分析, 实验哲学, and 人工智能 give students a strong foundation in 数据科学 concepts that enhance their major course of study and benefit them in internships and early career opportunities.
Additional information about the program and about the broad array of opportunities for internships, 研究, and careers is available in the Visual Guide for 数据科学 Emphasis (link to PDF) and on the CIS主页.
