About Data Science

Data science refers to the principles and practices in data analysis that support data-centric real-world problem solving. In this field, engineers work with statistics, data visualization, and machine learning, to analyze and understand the world around them.

Administered jointly between the Department of Computer Science and the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, the Data Science program at Tufts is interdisciplinary in nature and forward-thinking in its approach.

Tufts School of Engineering is uniquely positioned to offer an interdisciplinary data science program, expanding research in the field and providing students with state-of-the-art facilities to work on projects and hone their skills.
