Bachelor of Science in Data Science

A premier data science program in Southern California, CBU's data science major will allow students to learn the foundations in computing, mathematics and statistics to become true data scientists. Students will not only "push buttons" to generate basic models but be able to design and program their own unique statistical models or advance state-of-the-art algorithms to solve real-world problems.California Baptist University's data science program covers the entire data science lifecycle, from data acquisition to visualization, and teaches students how to apply data science techniques to solve real-world problems. The program combines a strong computational core with foundations in relevant mathematics and statistics, enabling students to develop and program their own statistical models or advance state-of-the-art algorithms.Students graduating with a degree in data science will learn to:Analyze a complex computing problem and to apply principles of computing and other relevant disciplines to identify solutions.Design, implement, and evaluate a computing-based solution to meet a given set of computing requirements in the context of the program's discipline. Communicate effectively in a variety of professional contexts.Recognize professional responsibilities and make informed judgments in computing practice based on legal and ethical principles.
