About the program

The Data Science BSc program from Mississippi State University uniquely approaches data science as the field that advances methods to improve the use of data for human progress. Specifically, these methods allow humans to:

Represent the world with virtual data objects through a process of datafication;
Extract insights and facilitate new discoveries about the world by studying these data objects;
Create artificially intelligent systems that align harmoniously with human intelligence to perform tasks; and
Increase the performance (scale, scope, and speed) of organizations as they produce or deliver virtual and tangible goods and services.

This definition of data science places the data lifecycle within a contextual framework (see diagram above) that emphasizes the role of scientific innovation (A.I. and Computing), people (workforce education and data science literacy), governance (ownership, privacy and confidentiality, and policy), infrastructure (hardware, software, network, storage, and security), ethics (the avoidance of algorithmic bias and a cultural mindset to use data to promote human flourishing), and the strategic goals that guide organizations in specific domains
