Bachelor of Science - Mathematics - Data Science

The Data Science concentration is a good fit for students who like to apply mathematics to solve real-world problems in business, economics, finance, medical, physics, engineering, and other fields. This program prepares students for employment or further graduate study in data science, economics, applied statistics, computational methods, and engineering.

The department of Mathematics & Statistics at APSU offers a B.S. in Mathematics: Data Science concentration, to train students who can promptly obtain positions in industry to spark new discoveries. Graduates of this program will have the theoretical, practical, and comprehensive knowledge about data analysis that helps to become Data analyst, Predictive Analyst, Quantitative analyst, Financial Analyst, and Researchers. The Department has dedicated full-time faculty members and features small class sizes. All classes are taught by professors and instructors satisfying APSU Faculty Qualifications Matrix. Many classes are conducted in modern computer labs, and all classrooms are “smart” classrooms, allowing projector-based demonstrations and lectures.

The B.S. in Mathematics: Data Science concentration, is innovative, professionally relevant, valuable, an consists of 120-credits that can be completed in four years. Students can also complete their degree more quickly by taking summer courses. A core collection of classes in linear algebra, probability, mathematical statistics, machine learning, time series analysis, mathematical modeling, and predictive analytics are available to students. These courses help the students to gain knowledge and skills in data manipulation, data visualization, data mining, and programming in R, SAS, and Python.
