About the Program
Data Science is the science of using statistical methods, computational techniques, and data analysis to extract meaningful knowledge from data. As a Data Science student, you will study in one of three streams, Business, Health, or Computational Arts, and complete a capstone project specific to your stream.
Your capstone project will give you the opportunity to impact a real-world problem with your learning. This is a full-year course, taken in your fourth year, where you will engage in hands-on research before graduation. Under the guidance of your instructor, you will meet with working professionals from companies and organizations to learn about their actual problems related to data science and work together to develop a solution for them.
