Bachelor of Science - Data Science and Analytics - Data Science in Business

Program Description

The Bachelor of Science with Major in Data Science and Analytics (BSDSA) at Florida Atlantic University (FAU) aims to prepare students with the essential skill sets across disciplines needed for data-driven applications in industry, business and government. To allow for maximum flexibility in career aspirations, students can select from three concentrations:

• Data Science in the Natural Sciences
• Data Science and Engineering
• Data Science in Business

Data science is effective in tackling many real-world problems and is being used to make intelligent and informed decisions in many industries such as medicine and healthcare, finance, retail, transportation, manufacturing, media and entertainment.

Data science and engineering involves the design and application of tools and methodologies for uncovering patterns in data and making actionable predictions. This program builds a strong background in computational and mathematical foundation of data science, programming, and data structures and algorithm analysis. Students can choose from a rich selection of courses including machine learning, artificial intelligence, and deep learning. They will be prepared not only to use the tools for data science but also to develop new mechanisms and algorithms.

Graduates of the program will be well prepared to enter the high demand workforce under exciting roles such as Data Scientist, Data Science Application Developer, Data Science Programmer, Data Analytics Scientist, Machine Learning Scientist, Market Analyst and others.
