Equipped to Thrive in Burgeoning Field 

The data scientist uses data to describe real-world phenomena and Stonehill’s data science program provides graduates with the knowledge and tools needed to thrive in this burgeoning field. 

The data scientist is indeed a hybrid: part statistician, part mathematician and part computer scientist. Consequently, at Stonehill, the data science major is truly interdisciplinary, offered through the Computer Science Department and Mathematics Department

With courses such as machine learning, artificial intelligence and advanced statistics, Stonehill’s Data Science program is designed to ensure graduates have the knowledge and experiences needed to thrive in this burgeoning field.
