What is Data Science?
Data Science empowers students across every major to understand and use data in their fields. By blending computational tools, statistical methods, and domain expertise, you'll learn to transform complex datasets—from genomic sequences to social media patterns, from economic indicators to historical texts—into insights that drive discovery and inform decisions. Whether you're pursuing research, policy, business, healthcare, or social impact, data science skills help you excel.
