## ##   * Overview
  * Program Requirements
  * Plan of Study
The data science and chemistry major combines chemistry, information science,
and mathematics to give students both breadth and depth in chemistry and data
science fundamentals. During their course of study, students have an
opportunity to develop qualitative and quantitative problem-solving skills as
well as effective communication skills. Students will study the collection,
manipulation, storage, retrieval, and computational analysis of chemical and
other scientific data in its various forms, including numeric, textual, image,
and video data from small to large volumes. The program engages students in
rigorous coursework designed to prepare students to interpret the ever-
expanding knowledge base.
