Overview
Data Science is a booming field that uses computing and statistical reasoning to extract knowledge and insights from data.
In this program, students become familiar with analyzing complex data through case studies in domains such as business, health, and digital media, and through a capstone experience that engages students in research with data in an industrial setting. Each student takes courses in a stream outside Data Science and their capstone experience will use data from that stream. The streams students can choose to take courses from are:
- Business (with Schulich School of Business)
- Health (with the School of Health Policy & Management)
- Computational Arts (with the School of Arts, Media, Performance & Design)
Our program is designed to prepare students for meaningful employment in data science-related positions in a wide range of industries, including technology, finance and insurance, public administration, and more.
