With the world increasingly defined by computation, big data, and artificial intelligence, it\u2019s no wonder the country\u2019s hottest occupation is data scientist.<\/span><\/p%3$s>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/div><\/div>\n\n
<\/div>
<\/div><\/div>
\n
<\/div>\n\n

That\u2019s why we launched a novel, cross-disciplinary faculty unit, a new undergraduate degree program in data sciences,<\/span><\/p%3$s>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/div><\/div>\n\n
<\/div>
<\/div><\/div>

The data science degree program equips students with critical knowledge and practical training<\/span><\/p%3$s>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/div><\/div>\n\n
<\/div>
<\/div><\/div>
\n

as well as the analytical and computational skills necessary to succeed in almost every field<\/span><\/p%3$s>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/div><\/div>\n\n
<\/div>
<\/div><\/div>
\n

from science and engineering<\/span><\/p%3$s>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
