As Missouri's and the region's inaugural program of its type, Northwest's Data Science major is an interdisciplinary curriculum featuring four specialization tracks: computer science, business, molecular biology, and geographic information systems.
The geographic information systems (GIS) concentration centers on data visualization via digital and physical maps, examining data for spatial patterns and trends, and presenting information through map-based and graphical formats to support location-based decision-making in business, government, and non-profit organizations.
