Bachelor of Science - Data Science

The data science major curriculum intentionally provides a foundation and pathway for engaging broad discipline interests in the arts, humanities, social sciences, physical sciences, health sciences, and business.  Data - in any domain - is at society's disposal almost instantaneously. People need the knowledge and skills to manage, analyze, summarize and interpret the data, and then be able to effectively communicate, both visually and verbally, the results in context within an ethical and respectful frame.

Students majoring in ​data science at St. Catherine University will learn to navigate, model, visualize, summarize, and communicate with data within a vibrantly interdisciplinary, collaborative environment. ​Students will engage in creating​ appropriate models to analyze and interpret data, learn to ask pertinent questions, study ethical considerations, ​and develop ​communication skills involved in data science and data analytics within contextual variety among the liberal arts spectrum. 

 

Data Science majors are required to complete a domain minor or a double major and secure at least one internship as part of the major.
