The concentration in Data Analytics prepares majors with additional skills in statistical modeling (linear or non-linear), in processing massive data analytically, and in decision-making from the data processing outcomes.
As the 21st century is a data and high technology century, there is a strong demand for graduates with mathematical, statistical and data analytical skills in many STEM and business sections within the public and private sectors.
The BS in Mathematics with the concentration in Data Analytics provides students with up-to-date methods, technologies and developments in the fields of data-driven mathematical and statistical modeling and critical decision-making. The BS in Mathematics and the BS in Mathematics with a concentration in Data Analytics both require a total of 123 hours. The concentration program will have the same math requirements except MATH 303 (Modern Algebra) and MATH 403 (Real Analysis). These two mathematics courses along with required four math electives are replaced by two computer science courses: CSCI 320 (Database Design) and CSCI 350 (Data Mining) and four statistics and data analysis courses: STAT 361 (Experimental Design), STAT 366 (Applied Statistics), STAT 451 (Applied Data Analytics and Development) and STAT 461 (Data Analysis).
