Our bachelor's in computer science with a concentration in machine learning will provide you with an introduction to fundamental and advanced concepts, techniques and principles. Machine learning is a field of computer science that takes the approach of teaching computers to learn from data/experience and solve problems, instead of providing solutions. Various real-world applications and examples of machine learning will be discussed in the machine learning concentration. You will also be able to explore the different types of machine learning algorithms, apply them to real-world data and interpret and visualize the results.

The Mathematical Modeling Concentration gives students mathematical skills and theory in both applied mathematics and statistics that will allow them to build meaningful and effective models in a variety of settings. Mathematical and statistical models can be used, for example, to predict populations of competing species, find optimal strategies to solve games, deblur images, inform targeted marketing campaigns, explain why donors might cut ties with non-profits, flag news stories as fake or disingenuous, or identify gerrymandered congressional districts. Students will become comfortable building and analyzing mathematical and statistical models, working collaboratively both inside and outside of their discipline, and working with industry-standard software.
