Overview

The Data Science Major is offered by Washington College. Class size is close to 20 in the lower levels, and an upper-level class may contain as few as seven students. There is a strong emphasis on writing and oral expression in the content area.

Quick Facts:

The small class size allows for a personalized experience. Many of our students choose to double major. The liberal arts environment supports students who wish to earn degrees in seemingly unrelated fields. Although Business Management, Computer Science, Mathematics, and Physics are often coupled, we have some students who choose their second major from the Humanities and Fine Arts, as well.
Typically, a student who intends to major in data science will start with MAT 109, Statistics, as well as computer science with CSI 111. However, a student who has received advanced placement credit for statistics or computer science may start at a higher level and is encouraged to consult with the department chair to make such arrangements. The major in data science consists of the senior capstone plus a minimum of twelve courses: nine core courses, and three electives.
