Program Description
Vermont State University’s Bachelor of Science in Data Science program takes an interdisciplinary approach to Data Science, drawing on a combination of the liberal arts tradition and a technical focus, to produce graduates who are skilled consumers, creators, and communicators of data and statistical analyses. Data Science is an emerging field which uses statistical computation to make data-based decisions, inferences, and predictions. The Data Science skill set is highly sought after in the labor market. Foundational technical skills are developed in a sequence of existing courses in the Computer Science, Math, and Statistics Department, career skills are honed by selecting electives from existing courses in the Business Administration, Psychology, or Social Sciences Departments, and data science-specific skills are developed through targeted coursework.
