Learn to analyze blocks of data, and effectively communicate results. The field of data science is becoming more and more relevant every day. The information weve collected helps point the way to a brighter future, and correctly analyzing and understanding this abundance of information is a highly specialized, sought-after skill. National University's Bachelor of Science in Data Science (BSDS) degree program balances a strong academic foundation, realistic design, and implementation projects to prepare you for an exciting career in this fast-paced industry.
Upon graduation from the program you will emerge well-rounded in the data science industry, with the skills to analyze batches of data, and to communicate the results to those outside the field. The data science program culminates in a three-month capstone where publicly available data are used in a project to demonstrate mastery of the data science life cycle in the chosen concentration area.
National University supports your journey with our whole human education approach. Our relevant, practitioner faculty will be with you every step of the way, showing you how to present data that tells a story, complete with demonstrations and visualizations, using the assertion evidence method, and more. You are able to customize their program by selecting from three specializations: AI and machine learning, cybersecurity analytics, and bioinformatics. With the Assertion Evidence Method, you are taught to solve real-world data science issues in their capstone course, where you will partner with existing small businesses to network and develop a portfolio of real-world problem solving.
The Cybersecurity Analytics concentration provides for greater depth in computer science topics, including networking, cybersecurity, cloud computing, incidence response, and network analytics.
1. Apply data science principles to solve cybersecurity problems.
2. Analyze a complex set of cybersecurity data by applying principles of cybersecurity, incident response techniques, and other relevant disciplines.
3. Communicate the results of a cybersecurity investigation.
4. Demonstrate knowledge of the fundamental concepts of operating systems, networks, and cloud computing.
