Bachelor of Science in Data Science and Environmental and Sustainability Sciences

Northeastern University

The Bachelor of Science in Data Science & Environmental and Sustainability Sciences provides a foundation in a range of environmental topics, including earth history, environmental planning, and spatial analysis. You’ll also study the collection, manipulation, storage, retrieval, and computational analysis of data in its various forms, gaining skills in environmental data analysis. In this program, you’ll develop an integrative understanding of how data can be used to understand and solve problems big and small within environmental science.The data science and environmental and sustainability sciences combined major focuses on major environmental challenges facing our planet and provides broad training to understand how these challenges can be met through advances in data science. Understanding these processes requires acquisition and analysis of large amounts of data-an ideal fit with data science, where students study the collection, manipulation, storage, retrieval, and computational analysis of data in its various forms, including numeric, textual, image, and video data from small to large volumes.
