BSc in Data Science - Business Analytics in Chicago United States | University of Illinois Chicago

Data science - the skill to structure, analyze, and extract meaningful patterns from vast datasets - combines multiple disciplines. Data scientists possess strong computational training. They're equally proficient in statistical methods. They grasp how their analyses impact various sectors, from private enterprises to public institutions. Moreover, they can translate their sophisticated work into clear explanations for diverse audiences, showcasing exceptional communication abilities.

To ensure every UIC data science student masters these competencies, we collaborated with three UIC colleges for foundational coursework: the College of Engineering (housing computer science), the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences (encompassing mathematics, statistics, and communication studies), and the College of Business Administration. Additionally, the College of Applied Health Sciences and the College of Urban Planning and Public Affairs contribute to our specialized data science tracks.

The nine specialized tracks available to data science majors incorporate courses from five UIC colleges: engineering, liberal arts and sciences, business administration, applied health sciences, and urban planning and public affairs. Some tracks focus exclusively on one college's curriculum, while others blend courses from multiple academic units.
