What Is Data Science— and Why Does It Matter?

Data Science is all about using powerful tools-like statistics, programming, and smart technology-to make sense of massive amounts of information (aka Big Data). It's the newest way we make discoveries about the world, right alongside traditional methods like experiments or simulations.

From healthcare to business, from climate science to cybersecurity, Data Science is changing how we solve problems, make decisions, and improve lives. And with industries everywhere relying on it, there's a huge need for people who know how to work with data-and not nearly enough professionals to meet the demand.

That's why CU Denver is building a one-of-a-kind, interdisciplinary Data Science community right here in the heart of the city. Ready to be part of the future? Join us.
