Program Overview

Do you have an interest in mathematics or statistics? Do you like to solve problems through? If you said yes, then maybe our Data Science and Mathematics (DSM) degree would be a perfect fit for you!

The DSM major develops skills, such as analytic and problem-solving skills, to prepare students for careers in the modern economy.  As a DSM major, you will extract, visualize and communicate information from large volumes of data all while exploring applications in areas such as Public Health, Sports and Human Performance and Environmental Science.

Throughout the program, you’ll learn how to use computer systems for problem solving and explore the relationship between a Christian worldview and the technical fields of data science and mathematics.  Every step of the way, you’ll have our experienced professors guiding you.  You’re not a number at Concordia – you’re a student who will get to know your professors and receive meaningful mentorship.

What to Expect
As a DSM student, you will learn and be able to :
  • Analyze and interpret data using an ethical approach stemming from a Christian worldview
  • Demonstrate the ability to select the appropriate statistical analysis and execute using statistical software
  • Discern appropriate algorithms and software tools as they apply to problem-solving in various user domains
  • Apply data science and analytics concepts and strategies to solve real-world problems
  • Communicate the solutions effectively using oral, written, and symbolic formats

As a graduate of our DSM program, you will have the skills and knowledge needed to set you apart from others in the workforce.  Our liberal arts foundation will give you strong communication skills, a better understanding of other cultures, and an appreciation for the social sciences that are skills for which future employers search.
