A New Mathematics Concentration

The Data Science Concentration under the BS in Mathematics provides students with a strong foundation in the mathematical, statistical, and computational principles that underlie modern data analysis and modeling. The concentration emphasizes mathematical reasoning, data literacy, programming, and applied statistical and computational techniques. Students complete lower- and upper-division core requirements, elective courses in mathematics, statistics, and computer science, and a minor in either Statistics or Computer Science. The program prepares graduates for data-driven research, professional careers, and advanced study in data science and related fields.
