Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Applied Computing (Data Analytics)

University of Saskatchewan

The goal of this program is to train students in the mathematical theory, and computational tools and techniques of data analysis. Data is now a core business commodity used to analyze everything from stock market performance, to the voting intentions of particular groups, to the conservation status of protected species. Underlying these complex analyses are mathematical and computational tools that allow the manipulation of large amounts of data to extract meaning. This program combines courses Computer Science and Mathematics and Statistics to provide knowledge and skills in several critical areas: fundamentals of computer programming and practice, the fundamentals of data analytics, mathematical fundamentals for modelling, statistical measurement and reasoning, and machine learning.
