Students begin the program by building a foundation in mathematics and computer programming and algorithmic techniques. They will then take 4 Data Science core courses: Fundamentals of Data Science, Machine Learning, Data Mining, and Database Systems. They will also complete the Ethics for Data Science as part of the core.

Then, they will complete 15 credits of elective courses in Data Science and Statistical Learning.

The program concludes with a required Data Science Capstone course in which the student will demonstrate overall knowledge of the discipline by completing a Data Science project, incorporating all the knowledge learned in the courses.

More information on Georgia State’s undergraduate tuition can be found on the Student Financial Services website.

The B.S. in Data Science is structured to best fit the needs of students who seek a foundation in data science to further their employment and education opportunities but who do not want to specialize in algorithmic (i.e., pure computer science) or business aspects of data science. We have consulted with industry practitioners to make sure that our learning objectives are current and valuable to employers.
