Data Science
|
There’s so much information just waiting to be discovered — if you know where and how to look. With a major in data science, you’ll learn how to use the power of data to solve problems and reveal insights in a wide array of areas.
This relatively new field is growing fast. Today’s data-driven businesses are turning to data scientists to figure out everything from where they get their customers to what products they should (or shouldn’t) offer.
Data science is deeply interdisciplinary and pairs well with other majors, such as biology, psychology and public health. Whether you’re interested in health disparities or the water quality of a river or the changing architecture of a city over time, data science will equip you with the tools to explore whatever fascinates you.
More importantly, you’ll learn how to make the information accessible to others, providing context and meaning so that your organization can turn insights into action. It’s an in-demand skillset that will serve you well wherever you go.
