Philosophy, Politics, & Economics
Studying social sciences in an interdisciplinary approach has become a necessary tool in understanding human interactions and affairs in the interconnected modern world. What are the foundations of human thoughts? Why do people think the way they do? What are various social, cultural, and political values that form the basis of human societies? How have these given rises to different political beliefs and systems? How do people make decisions that influence their lives?

When we buy something, we are dealing with data. When we use social media, we are dealing with data. When we save money in a bank, we are dealing with data. When we vote, we are dealing with data. Data is everywhere. We live alongside data in this intricately complex world, and big data is irreversibly changing the world.
​
The undergraduate major in Statistics and Data Science (SDS) will equip students with a solid foundation in the traditional statistical field and the exponential application of statistics in a modern connected world through data science. Data Science expands upon Statistics through the incorporation of modern fields such as data mining, machine learning, and high-performance computing, to manage the entire lifecycle of data, from its inception of specification, generation, gathering, analysis, clean-up, interpretation, so as to make decisions and develop policies that have societal impact.
