What impression do you get when you hear the word "data"? Just as the text and sound we use for communication are also forms of data, data is something that is very familiar to us. Currently, by analyzing this vast amount of data, we can connect it to solving social problems. Data science is the process of analyzing and interpreting this data to solve problems, extracting necessary and useful information, and transforming data into something valuable.

Because it deals with readily available data, data science is considered essential knowledge in modern society, regardless of whether one's academic background is humanities or science. This field requires not only information processing skills and basic mathematical abilities for data analysis, but also the ability to translate analysis results into solutions for social problems. Through studying in this department, we hope that students will acquire a well-balanced set of analytical and application skills in data science.
