Faculty of Computing & Data Sciences

The Faculty of Computing & Data Sciences (CDS) at Boston University is an interdisciplinary, University-wide academic unit that complements and connects traditional disciplines through the shared language of computation and data. CDS provides undergraduate and graduate students with the necessary agility to steer their education and training in a way that leverages their passion for discovery, innovation, and real-world impact. As such, CDS fosters exploration by encouraging students to take courses in schools and colleges across BU and by providing them with innovative experiential learning opportunities through programs and special initiatives such as BU Spark!.

With this preparation, CDS graduates will be ready to contribute to the art, science, and engineering of the data-driven processes that are woven into all aspects of society, economy, and public discourse. They will pursue careers in which they contribute to the synthesis of knowledge and the scalable extraction of insights from data, as well as to the design of new information and AI systems and products that enable actionable use of those insights toward discovery and innovation in a wide range of application domains.
