Pathways in Data Science

Undergraduate / Graduate

In a world increasingly driven by information, data science has emerged as an all-encompassing term to describe the process of collecting, processing, analyzing, and drawing conclusions from data. The ability to use data science tools and understand their foundations is crucial for those who wish to engage with the greatest challenges in modern society. This course introduces students to the full data science pipeline-question formulation, data collection, storage, computation, visualization, inference, prediction, and communication. In addition to lectures, labs, discussions, and visits by guest speakers, students will learn Python and Jupyter Notebooks and complete a capstone project using real-world data.
