Data Science sits at the nexus of business, computer science, and statistics and as such, is a blending of the three fields. The overarching goal of the field is the better use of information to make a difference in the world. Whether you enroll in our undergraduate program, graduate program, or micro-credential program, you will graduate ready for the next step in your career or education.

I would strongly recommend Loyola's Data Science program to anyone who is interested in the field. It is demanding—but it is great for being able to balance work and school.

Computer science students at Loyola gain an excellent breadth of knowledge that prepares them particularly well for the real world.

Loyola prepares data science graduates with what is perhaps the most powerful and difficult tool to obtain: the ability to express your technical findings in a way that can be understood by everyone.
