The Saint Louis University Bachelor of Science in Data Science is an interdisciplinary program supported by the  Department of Computer Science  and the  Department of Mathematics and Statistics. The curriculum is modeled upon guidelines for undergraduate programs in data science as endorsed by the American Statistical Association's Board of Directors. Classes are small and are taught by enthusiastic instructors.

The B.S. in data science is among the most rigorous degrees offered at SLU. This program combines carefully selected computer science, statistics and mathematics courses with four semesters of practical and capstone experiences. The result is an education that is rooted in the fundamentals but also provides hands-on experience with cleaning, visualizing, analyzing and reporting on data. Students choose electives within the major to specialize more in the computer science or statistical aspects of data science. 

Faculty in the data science program do research in machine learning, natural language processing, time series, topological data analysis, and in other areas of statistics, computer science and mathematics.

There are multiple research, internship and consulting opportunities for students in the data science program. Past students have done cross-disciplinary work with ArchCity Defenders, the Department of Sociology, the Department of Languages, Literature and Cultures, the Department of English and the Medical School Liver Center, while others have done work in data science itself, doing research with faculty within the Departments of Mathematics and Statistics, the Department of Computer Science and the Lincoln Lab at MIT, among others.

The SLU Data Science Club provides students with an opportunity to practice their predictive modelling in competitions. Some competitions are hosted locally by SLU solely for students at SLU, while others pit SLU students against students and professionals from across the world.
