The BS in Data Science degree does have a solid math background and will require advanced classes in mathematics, such as calculus II and linear algebra. In addition, various topics in calculus III, probability and statistics will be covered in data science core courses.
Students in the data science program want to become proficient and ethical producers, evaluators and consumers of data. They are typically interested in the following activities (covered in the data science core classes):
Apart from immersion (in person at Tempe campus) degree, there is also a BS in Data Science online degree. Not all tracks are currently available to online students, but the hope is that they will all be available in the future.
Online tracks:
The BS in Data Science provides students with a background in mathematics, statistics, and programming. This program has a track system. Each track represents a specialized area/subject.
Tracks:
A typical workflow in many data science projects can be summarized in the following diagram.
An estimated shortage of up to 190,000 data analysts in the U.S. is creating high demand for data scientists with the know-how to use data to make effective decisions. From predicting consumer behavior to extracting information from medical images, you will graduate ready for a dynamic career that inspires global change.

ASU students and faculty of music and mathematics are invited to put their heads together and brainstorm new ways of tuning musical instruments. We will discuss the mathematics of harmony, alternative tuning systems, infinite divisions of the octave, and the farthest reaches of n-dimensional pitch space. Participants will tear down the walls of 12-tone equal temperament and develop techniques for exploring new harmonic architecture. Free and open to the public.
