Bachelor of Science in Data Science with Concentration in Business Information Systems

Program Overview

Data science is a new emerging field that explores and advances methods, systems, and processes to:

  • Represent the world as data objects;
  • Extract insights about the world from these data objects and turn these insights into discoveries, decisions, and actions; and
  • Create smart systems to perform tasks that have historically required human cognition and human decision-making abilities.

The MSU Bachelor of Science in Data Science is an interdisciplinary program designed to include three general areas of coursework: general education to develop critical thinking and writing skills; a program core of computer science, statistics, mathematics, business information systems, and communications skills; and applications of the data science fundamentals in a specific concentration.

Business Information Systems Concentration

Modern enterprise management presents complex challenges of identifying actionable knowledge derived from the emerging flood of new data captured by an exploding number of online processes and connected sensors and devices. Companies are redesigning their organizational structures and processes to leverage this new capability – the concentration in BIS will prepare students to play a leading role in this emerging digital transformation and help companies compete in the increasingly connected environment. Students who complete the concentration will be prepared to solve business problems and identify business opportunities in the context of intelligent data analytics and digital transformation.
