Bachelor of Science in Data Science and Statistics

Data Science and Statistics combines knowledge of concepts from statistics and computer science to extract meaning from data to inform evidence-based decisions. Students select a concentration in statistics or in data science. The two concentrations share a core of coursework in mathematics, statistics and programming. The concentration in statistics develops skills for preparing and analyzing data in a wide variety of observational and experimental contexts. The concentration in data science focuses on methods needed for exploring, managing and analyzing complex or enormous data sets. Data science uses software, statistics, probability, and analytics skills to extract knowledge and insights from data. Your ability to interpret data will prepare you to work in technical areas, economics, science, business, insurance, law, linguistics, or any other field requiring sophisticated analytical skills.

Miami's major in data science and statistics requires both theoretical and applied mathematics courses. During the first two years of study, most students majoring in statistics complete a sequence of calculus courses and a linear algebra course. With the help of an adviser, you select one or two additional courses that strengthen your preparation for upper-level studies. Our graduates are very successful in obtaining employment in such areas as data science, statistics, computing and information systems. Many important problems in government, private industry, health and environmental fields, and the academic world require sophisticated techniques for their solutions. The study of data science and statistics provides specific analytical and quantitative tools for dealing with these problems. Employers view graduates with a strong background in data science and statistics as good problem solvers.
