Data Science & Analytics
Program Goals & Outcomes
The Associate of Science Degree Program provides students with the analytical skills and scientific knowledge to expand and apply critical thinking to all facets of learning. The expected program outcome is to provide a comprehensive lower-division education for students who plan to transfer to a baccalaureate degree program in data science.
Upon successful completion of this program, students will be able to:
- Communicate using mathematical vocabulary and notation;
- Produce mathematical representations to model quantitative relationships;
- Prepare data for algorithm-based analysis; and
- Produce concise reports using data analytics, while maintaining ethical standards.
