The Saint Louis University Bachelor of Science (BSc) in Data Science is an interdisciplinary program supported by the Department of Computer Science and the Department of Mathematics and Statistics. The curriculum is modeled upon guidelines for undergraduate programs in data science as endorsed by the American Statistical Association's Board of Directors. Classes are small and are taught by enthusiastic instructors.
The BSc in Data Science is among the most rigorous degrees offered at SLU. This program combines carefully selected computer science, statistics, and mathematics courses with four semesters of practica and capstone experiences.
The result is an education that is rooted in the fundamentals but also provides hands-on experience with cleaning, visualizing, analyzing, and reporting on data. Students choose electives within the major to specialize more in computer science or statistical aspects of data science.
