Bachelor of Science in Data Science

Students majoring in data science will have the formal foundation needed to understand the applicability and consequences of the various approaches to analyzing data with a focus on statistical modeling and machine learning. They will have the computing skills needed to ingest, manage and visualize data.

Program Overview

The College of Arts & Sciences and McKelvey School of Engineering developed a new major that efficiently captures the intersection of mathematics and statistics with computer science for data science. The Bachelor of Arts in Data Science (BADS) will give students the formal foundation needed to understand the applicability and consequences of the various approaches to analyzing data with a focus on statistical modeling and machine learning. Arts & Sciences students who declare this major must fulfill all other requirements for a BA degree. McKelvey Engineering students who declare this major must complete all other requirements for the Applied Science degree in the McKelvey School of Engineering. Please visit the Washington University Bulletin to review the degree requirements and course offerings. For information on degree requirements from prior years, please refer to the Bulletin pages associated with those academic years (listed below).
