BS in Data Science and Biochemistry
The BS in Data Science and Biochemistry is a combined major (Khoury College and the College of Science) that integrates computer science, biochemistry, biology, information science, mathematics, and statistics — preparing you to use data to solve complex challenges in the life sciences. Through rigorous classes and hands-on experience, you’ll learn to work with data in all its forms as you study biochemical processes. When you graduate, you will be able to analyze, interpret, and draw meaningful insights from biological data.
