Why Study Data Science?
Dare to be a force in the world of data. In Data Science (DAS), you don’t just crunch numbers - you unlock the stories hidden within them. In this program, you'll master the fundamentals of math, computer science, and statistics, and learn how to use cutting-edge tools and algorithms to tackle complex, real-world problems. You’ll sharpen your ability to analyze patterns, build predictive models, and communicate your findings clearly, giving you the power to drive smarter decisions. Every dataset becomes a challenge, and every challenge is an opportunity to shape the future with the insights you uncover.
AREAS OF STUDY:
- Machine Learning
- Computer Security
- Security and Privacy
- Healthcare Data

SAMPLE COURSES:
- Data Structures
- Technical Communications
- Database Systems
- Fundamentals of Computer Vision
ADMISSION INFO:
Successful first year applicants in this major will have earned outstanding grades in calculus and physics, and performed exceptionally well on the Math section of the SAT and/or ACT.
After Graduation
Your college decision isn't really about the next four years. We get it. It’s about what doors are opened by your degree and whether those opportunities are what you had envisioned for yourself. Nearly 95% of SBU grads are employed or go to professional or graduate school. Here's a snapshot of what life after graduation looks like for some of them.
CAREER OPTIONS:
- Data Scientist/Analyst
- Machine Learning Engineer
- Data Engineer
- Ethical Hacker/Data Security Analyst
RECENT EMPLOYERS:
- IBM
- Microsoft
- Amazon
