A Data Science major sits at the intersection of statistics, computer science, and the domain in which data is applied. Coursework typically includes calculus, linear algebra, probability and statistics, programming (mostly Python and R), database design, machine learning, and data visualization. Most programs require a capstone project on a real-world dataset.

Employment is broad: every industry that collects data, finance, healthcare, tech, retail, government, sports, hires data scientists. Many graduates pair the major with a domain minor (Economics, Biology, Public Health) to specialize.
