The Bachelor of Arts in Data Science at Rutgers provides students with a strong foundation in data literacy, statistical inference, data management, and information and data management principles. The program has two tracks, Statistics and Human Centered, each with unique requirements. The Statistics track includes calculus, computer science, and advanced statistic courses. The Human Centered track includes courses in regression methods, computing, IT and informatics, and courses that are built to equip students to take on the role of a data scientist. The program prepares students for a career in data science with a focus on statistical analysis, data management, and information and data management principles.
Students must complete the Foundational courses and choose from one of the BA degree options, along with completing the SAS CORE requirements.
There is no precedence order except for the normal prerequisites for the courses. Information is subject to change, please consult advisors.
