- The Bachelor of Science in Statistics and Data Science equips students to execute all stages of data analysis, apply common techniques in statistics and machine learning, respect the principles and best practices of reproducible data science and articulate the role of statistics and data science in a just and ethical society.
- The program provides a strong foundation in the established field of statistics while reaching into the modern and emerging field of data science.
- Graduates of this program may be hired as statisticians or data scientists who are able to collect and curate large volumes of data, bring statistical and machine learning methods to bear on new questions and create data pipelines and workflows that transform digital information into actionable insights.
- Perhaps most importantly, employers are looking for individuals who are equipped with the foundational training needed to ensure that the individuals they hire into these roles are readily able to learn and critically assess new tools as they become available.
