Introduction
The Department of Computer Science, in keeping with the needs of the modern education requirement in technology, is introducing a Bachelors in Data Science program. The BS (Data Science) has a dual emphasis on basic principles of statistics and computer science, with foundational training in statistical and mathematical aspects of data analysis. This program develops a foundation on broad computer science principles, including algorithms, data structures, data management and machine learning. This program will prepare graduates for a career in data analysis, combining foundational statistical concepts with computational principles from computer science.
Program Objectives:
- Develop proficiency in programming languages used in data science.
- Develop strong mathematical and statistical skills to analyze data and draw insights from data.
- Learn to use data visualization tools and techniques to communicate insights effectively.
- Acquire knowledge of big data technologies and platforms for managing and processing large datasets.
- Develop an understanding of data ethics and privacy issues in data science.
- Learn to work with unstructured data such as text, images, and videos.
Program Features:
- The updated BS (DS) is a 133 credit hours program and may be completed in minimum four years (eight semesters).
- Two semesters are offered in a year, Spring and Autumn.
- Duration of each semester is 18 weeks.
- Program is In-line with HEC.
