好消息！北卡教堂山分校数据科学本科学位获批

　　据悉，北卡教堂山分校数据科学本科学位在2月29日的北卡罗来纳大学系统理事会会议上获得批准。2024年秋季学期的学士学位课程将于3月1日开始提交申请。学士课程不需要正式申请，但要求学生填写一份意向书。

　　（1）数据科学本科（授予理学学士）

　　所属院系：北卡罗来纳大学教堂山分校数据科学与社会学院

　　这个新的学士学位是数据科学与社会学院的第一个本科生学位。这所位于北卡罗来纳大学教堂山校区的新学校去年推出了第一个在线研究生项目。应用数据科学硕士让学生全面了解数据生命周期，为他们有效地、合乎道德地收集、处理、管理和分析数据做好准备。

　　学士学位需要60至62个学时，专注于数据科学的严格定量基础;先进的数据科学计算、统计和数学原理;以及跨学科课程。

　　数据科学与社会学院院长Stan Ahalt表示：“我们很自豪能够推出数据科学与学会学院的第一个本科生学位。”。“这一新项目将为学生们提供一个深入研究数据科学的机会，并研究如何将这项科学应用于不同的学科，以解决我们州面临的最大挑战。数据科学几乎是现代社会一切的一部分，我们希望培养出优秀的数据科学家，并在未来继续为我们的世界做出贡献。”

　　（2）数据科学本科（授予文学学士）

　　所属院系：北卡罗来纳大学教堂山分校文理学院

　　另外一个数据科学学士学位课程将设在文理学院的统计与运筹学系。该学位强调对追求各种职业道路的学生进行应用数据科学培训。它非常适合想要双专业的学生，或者对地球科学、公共政策或政治科学、地理空间分析或生物信息学等领域感兴趣的学生。

　　Craver Family文理学院院长Jim White说：“当我与行业领袖会面时，我一次又一次地听到他们希望如何聘用既有文科基础，又有理解、应用和解释数据能力的毕业生。”。“想象一下，一位分析民意调查数据的政治学家，或者一位为人工智能研究大型语言系统的语言学家——这些都是我们的数据科学学士学位将帮助我们的学生做好准备的工作类型。”

　　STOR学院还提供数据科学辅修课程。这门跨学科辅修课程于2021年推出，向学生介绍基础科学和应用科学、人文科学、社会科学和其他学科中使用的方法和应用。

　　The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill will offer two new undergraduate degree programs with classes starting fall 2024. The Bachelor of Science in Data Science degree will be in the School of Data Science and Society, while the Bachelor of Arts in Data Science degree will be in the College of Arts and Sciences.

　　The two new degree programs were approved at the Feb. 29 UNC Board of Governors meeting. Application submissions open today for the B.S. program for the fall 2024 semester. The B.A. program does not require a formal application, but students are asked to complete a letter of interest.

　　This new B.S. degree is the first undergraduate degree for the School of Data Science and Society. This new school on the UNC-Chapel Hill campus introduced its first online graduate program last year. The Master of Applied Data Science gives students a holistic understanding of the data life cycle, preparing them to effectively — and ethically — collect, process, manage and analyze data.

　　The B.S. degree requires 60 to 62 credit hours and focuses on the rigorous quantitative foundations of data science; advanced computational, statistical and mathematical principals of data science; and interdisciplinary coursework.

　　“We are proud to launch the School of Data Science and Society’s first undergraduate degree,” said Stan Ahalt, dean of the School of Data Science and Society. “This new program will offer students an opportunity to dive into the depths of data science and look at how this science can be applied to different disciplines in order to solve our state’s greatest challenges. Data science is part of almost everything in modern society, and we hope to produce data scientists that will excel and continue to contribute to our world well into the future.”

　　The B.A. degree program will be based in the College of Arts and Sciences’ department of statistics and operations research, or STOR. This degree has an emphasis on applied data science training for students pursuing a variety of career paths. It is well suited for students who want to double major or whose interests lie in fields as diverse as earth science, public policy or political science, geospatial analysis, or bioinformatics.

　　“When I meet with industry leaders, I hear again and again how they want to hire graduates with a firm grounding in the liberal arts but also the ability to understand, apply, and interpret data,” said Jim White, Craver Family Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences. “Picture a political scientist analyzing polling data or a linguist working on large language systems for AI — these are the types of jobs our B.A. in data science will help our students prepare for.”

　　A minor in data science is also offered through the College and housed in STOR. This interdisciplinary minor, launched in 2021, introduces students to methods and applications that are used in basic and applied sciences, the humanities, social sciences and other disciplines.
