Data Science

In August 2020, the University System convened a group of faculty from across Georgia to support the development of a commonly numbered introductory course in data science. This course is intended to fulfill current Area D requirements for institutions that choose to adopt it as well as satisfy the anticipated data and digital fluency requirement for any redesigned General Education Curriculum.  More significantly, the data science course is intended to provide an introduction to essential data literacy to support students in their academic and life pursuits.
