Overview

The Data Science program of Tufts University is designed both as a stand-alone major and a double major option for those students in the School of Engineering who wish to add data science to an existing engineering major. The BSDS degree is only available to students in the School of Engineering. Double majoring in the B.S.D.S. and Bachelor of Science in Computer Science (BSCS) programs is not practical and will not be permitted due to overlap between the major concentrations.

Succeeded and advanced in professional careers in or related to data science, analysis, and interpretation, and/or
