BS in Data Science and Design
The Data Science and Design combined major (Khoury College and the College of Arts, Media and Design) integrates a technical degree with a practice-based discipline that poses important questions about — and provides significant answers to — how we live. Students study the collection, manipulation, storage, retrieval, and computational analysis of data in its various forms including numeric, textual, image, and video data. Information designers visualize concepts and data to enhance human understanding of complex and vital knowledge. Their work has an enlightening or instructive intent and is based on factual content.
This program is new for Fall 2024.
