The Bachelor of Science in Data Science and Artificial Intelligence is an undergraduate program that equips students with the foundational knowledge and hands-on skills required to thrive in the rapidly evolving fields of data science and AI. The curriculum is rooted in programming, mathematics, statistics, and machine learning. Students also explore advanced topics such as Machine Learning, Data Visualization, and Database Management.

The program offers four specialized concentrations:
·         Data Science Theory: Focuses on advanced mathematical and computational techniques such as linear programming, convex algebraic geometry, and algorithmic design.
·         Data Analytics: Emphasizes statistical methods and real-world applications in fields such as business, economics, and sociology.
·         Artificial Intelligence: Delves into AI technologies, including courses on Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, preparing students for roles in cutting-edge AI development.
·         Spatial Data Science: Combines GIS (Geographic Information Science) techniques with data science, preparing students to work with spatial data in fields like urban planning and environmental analysis.

Students will graduate with a robust skillset that spans theoretical foundations, data handling, and applied machine learning, preparing them for careers in AI development, data analytics, or specialized roles in sectors like healthcare, finance, and geographic information science. Additionally, the program prioritizes ethical data use, ensuring graduates are prepared to address the societal challenges posed by data-driven technologies.

Students are assigned an academic advisor early in the program, who works closely with them to develop a personalized academic plan.
