The BS (Data Science) ODL has a dual emphasis on basic principles of statistics and computer science, with foundational training in statistical and mathematical aspects of data analysis. This program develops a foundation on broad computer science principles, including algorithms, data structures, data management and machine learning. This program will prepare graduates for a career in data analysis, combining foundational statistical concepts with computational principles from computer science.</span></span></span></span></span></span></p> <p style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;"><b><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><span style="font-family:&quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;">Program<span style="letter-spacing:-.1pt"> Objectives:</span></span></span></b></span></span></p> <ol> <li align="left" style="text-align:left"><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="tab-stops:21.3pt"><span style="font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><span style="font-family:&quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;">Develop proficiency in programming languages used in data science.</span></span></span></span></span></li> <li align="left" style="text-align:left"><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="tab-stops:21.3pt"><span style="font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><span style="font-family:&quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;">Develop strong mathematical and statistical skills to analyze data and draw insights from data.</span></span></span></span></span></li> <li align="left" style="text-align:left"><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="tab-stops:21.3pt"><span style="font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><span style="font-family:&quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;">Learn to use data visualization tools and techniques to communicate insights effectively.</span></span></span></span></span></li> <li align="left" style="text-align:left"><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="tab-stops:21.3pt"><span style="font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><span style="font-family:&quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;">Acquire knowledge of big data technologies and platforms for managing and processing large <span style="letter-spacing:-.1pt">datasets.</span></span></span></span></span></span></li> <li align="left" style="text-align:left"><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="tab-stops:21.3pt"><span style="font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><span style="font-family:&quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;">Develop an understanding of data ethics and privacy issues in data science.</span></span></span></span></span></li> <li align="left" style="text-align:left"><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="tab-stops:21.3pt"><span style="font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><span style="font-family:&quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;">Learn to work with unstructured data such as text, images, and videos.</span></span></span></span></span></li> </ol> <p> </p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div></div><div class="_none"><div class="container-fluid"> <div class="layout row no-gutters layout-builder__layout"> <div class="col-lg-6 col-md-12 col-12"> <div class="_none bs-pb-4 block block-layout-builder block-field-blocknodeprogrammesfield-admission-requirement"> <h2 class="block-title" ><span>Eligibility Criteria</span></h2> <div class="content block-content"> <div class="field field--name-field-admission-requirement field--type-text-long field--label-hidden field__item"><p style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><span style="font-family:&quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;">Minimum 50% marks in Intermediate/12 years schooling/A- Level (HSSC) or Equivalent with Mathematics are required for admission in BS(DS).

The Department of Computer Science, in keeping with the needs of the modern education requirement in technology, is introducing a Bachelors in Artificial Intelligence program. The BS (Artificial Intelligence) gives the students an in-depth knowledge they need to transform large and complex scenarios into actionable decisions. The program and its curriculum focus on how complex inputs such as knowledge, vision, language and huge databases can be used to make decisions to enhance human capabilities. The curriculum of the BS (AI) program includes coursework in computing, mathematics, automated reasoning, statistics, computational modeling, introduction to classical artificial intelligence languages and case studies, knowledge representation and reasoning, artificial neural networks, machine learning, natural language processing, vision and symbolic computation. The program also encourages students to take courses in ethics and social responsibility, with the opportunity to participate in long term projects in which artificial

The Department of Computer Science, in keeping with the needs of the modern education requirement in technology, is revamping and reintroducing a Bachelor's in Information Technology program. The BS (Information Technology) gives the students an in-depth knowledge of programming, system analysis and software testing. The curriculum of the BS (IT) program includes coursework in computing, mathematic, databases, software development and testing, modeling, introduction to classical Information Technology languages and case studies. The curricula is specifically designed to meet with the requirements of an expert software developer. The program also encourages students to take courses in ethics and social responsibility, with the opportunity to participate in long term projects in which Information
