Overview

Key Features

Your journey into data science will begin with probability and statistics. You will work your way through calculus and introductory statistics, then move on to the core data science sequence of Math 245, 345 and 445. Along the way, you will develop proficiency in industry-standard software from your mathematics courses, as well as some introductory programming and machine learning. You’ll also learn about industry ethics and technical writing, which will improve your ability to relay technical information to a non-technical audience. Your study will culminate in a seminar, where you will be able to put all of your training into action as you work on real-world big data problems.

The Data Science program at Rhode Island College provides a pathway into one of the most in-demand careers, with one of the highest starting salaries. From startups to Fortune 500s to government agencies, organizations are capitalizing on big data and will need data scientists like you to help them make informed decisions.
