Undergraduate Program in Data Science

Data Science (DS) is an interdisciplinary program of study, housed in the Rutgers-New Brunswick School of Arts and Sciences. It is offered jointly by the Departments of Computer Science and Department of Statistics in partnership with the School of Communication and Information, the School of Engineering, and the School of Environmental and Biological Sciences.

The Bachelor of Arts degree program provides students with a comprehensive education and equips them to be proficient in the principles of computation, statistical inference, and data management. The Bachelor of Science degree program provides students with knowledge and skills in scientific, technical, critical thinking, communication, and ethical modes of inquiry.

The Data Science Minor and Certificate are designed to equip students to understand the basic principles of computation, statistical inference, and data management and their applications in a specific domain/field.

Data Science programs are open to ALL students in any Rutgers-New Brunswick program.

The development was supported by the Rutgers-New Brunswick Chancellor’s Strategic Initiative Funds.
