Specialization in Data Science
Data Science includes the study of various computational methods and
analytical approaches. Specifically, it covers how to apply the computational
methods to extract knowledge or insights from data. Students learn both
theory and practice of statistics and computer science to develop new methods
for analyzing data, understanding observations, and solving real-world
problems.
