Overview

The Data Science major at Creighton University represents a balanced approach to modern data science by combining 23 credits from mathematics; 21 credits from journalism, media, and computing; and a collaborative, service-learning-based capstone to give students valuable real-world experience. Creighton’s data science bachelor degree program is unique because of its interdisciplinary nature: Students gain a grounded education in both statistics and computer science, rather than just sampling elements of one or the other. Students have the option to specialize in advanced computing or advanced mathematics/statistics, giving them the chance to complete deeper study in one facet of data science.

Data Science is the science of planning for, acquiring, managing, analyzing and making inferences from data. Data scientists use statistical, computational and mathematical tools to extract meaningful insights and make real-time predictions from data in all fields.

Outcomes

Data scientist is consistently ranked one of the best jobs in America by Glassdoor, and there are a wealth of opportunities available to new graduates in data science. After graduation, students may work as data scientists, data engineers, machine learning engineers or statisticians. Students will also be well-prepared for graduate study in data science, machine learning, computer science or statistics.
