Program Description: 

The amount of data generated by, and available to, companies, governments, and individuals, is exploding. There is an urgent need for individuals who can grapple with massive amounts of data and extract key information. As a Computer Science student in the Data Science specialization, you will develop the knowledge, skills, and tools, to set you up for success in this desirable job market. You will also develop critical problem-solving, analytical, and computational skills that will enable you to turn vast quantities of data into insight.

Individuals interested in this specialization will apply directly to Pharmaceutical Chemistry through the Ontario Universities' Application Centre using application code DSM.


Admission Requirement:

Current Ontario secondary school students must complete the Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) with six 4U or 4M credits including English (ENG4U), Advanced Functions (MHF4U), and two of Biology (SBI4U), Calculus and Vectors (MCV4U), Chemistry (SCH4U) or Physics (SPH4U). In addition, a combined minimum 70 per cent average in prerequisite math and science courses is required. It is recommended that all four MCV4U, SBI4U, SCH4U and SPH4U be taken.  

Note: Admission is competitive. The specific average or standing required for admission varies from year to year. Students are selected by taking into consideration a wide range of criteria including school marks, distribution of subjects taken, and performance in subjects relevant to the academic program. Possession of the minimum requirements does not guarantee acceptance. Preference will be given to applicants with the best qualifications.


Career:

Data scientists are highly sought after in a variety of industries, including health care, finance, and business consultancy. The university’s Computer Science graduates with Data Science specialization will be in high demand in both government and private sectors, including:

  • Engineering, automotive and mining companies

  • Financial institutions, such as banks and hedge funds

  • Health care

  • Medical research labs

  • Robotics and aeronautical companies

  • Software houses

An undergraduate Computer Science degree specializing in Data Science will also allow you to pursue graduate studies, including the university’s Master of Science program in Computer Science.
