You’ll develop a well-rounded skill set to prepare for a variety of data science jobs in this in-demand field. 

Building on foundational technical skills gained through core courses, you’ll learn how to design database systems, delve into machine learning, manage and process data, make inferences, and communicate findings to an audience.  

Through electives, you can expand into areas that can be strategic for your career path, including courses in the Business Administration, Psychology, or Social Science departments.

A final capstone project in mathematics is your chance to explore a topic of interest and demonstrate your mature skills as a mathematician, or choose a CIS senior project to demonstrate your mastery of program subjects.
