The combined major in data science and journalism equips students with skills to thrive in both traditional and digital journalism. Learners explore how to gather, process, store, access, and computationally analyze diverse data types - from numbers and text to images and videos. By integrating these technical skills with core journalistic principles, ethics, and practices, students develop the ability to derive insights from vast information streams and apply them to impactful investigative storytelling.
