BA/BS Data Science at University of Oregon

Programme overview

The volume, rate, and importance of data is growing exponentially, with more data being created in the past two years than in all history combined. At the University of Oregon we’re bringing our strengths as a liberal arts university to the field – to not only ask what can we do with data – but what should we do. As a data science major at the UO, you will learn key computational, statistical, and inferential data science skills side-by-side with applied knowledge in one of 10 different areas: accounting analytics, biology, earth science, economics, geography, linguistics, marketing analytics, music technology, physics, and sociology.
