據悉，北卡教堂山分校數據科學本科學位在2月29日的北卡羅來納大學系統理事會會議上獲得批準。2024年秋季學期的學士學位課程將于3月1日開始提交申請。學士課程不需要正式申請，但要求學生填寫一份意向書。

　　（1）數據科學本科（授予理學學士）

　　所屬院系：北卡羅來納大學教堂山分校數據科學與社會學院

　　這個新的學士學位是數據科學與社會學院的第一個本科生學位。這所位于北卡羅來納大學教堂山校區的新學校去年推出了第一個在線研究生項目。應用數據科學碩士讓學生全面了解數據生命周期，為他們有效地、合乎道德地收集、處理、管理和分析數據做好準備。

　　學士學位需要60至62個學時，專注于數據科學的嚴格定量基礎;先進的數據科學計算、統計和數學原理;以及跨學科課程。

　　數據科學與社會學院院長Stan Ahalt表示：“我們很自豪能夠推出數據科學與學會學院的第一個本科生學位。”。“這一新項目將為學生們提供一個深入研究數據科學的機會，并研究如何將這項科學應用于不同的學科，以解決我們州面臨的最大挑戰。數據科學幾乎是現代社會一切的一部分，我們希望培養出優秀的數據科學家，并在未來繼續為我們的世界做出貢獻。”

　　（2）數據科學本科（授予文學學士）

　　所屬院系：北卡羅來納大學教堂山分校文理學院

　　另外一個數據科學學士學位課程將設在文理學院的統計與運籌學系。該學位強調對追求各種職業道路的學生進行應用數據科學培訓。它非常適合想要雙專業的學生，或者對地球科學、公共政策或政治科學、地理空間分析或生物信息學等領域感興趣的學生。

　　Craver Family文理學院院長Jim White說：“當我與行業領袖會面時，我一次又一次地聽到他們希望如何聘用既有文科基礎，又有理解、應用和解釋數據能力的畢業生。”。“想象一下，一位分析民意調查數據的政治學家，或者一位為人工智能研究大型語言系統的語言學家——這些都是我們的數據科學學士學位將幫助我們的學生做好準備的工作類型。”

　　STOR學院還提供數據科學輔修課程。這門跨學科輔修課程于2021年推出，向學生介紹基礎科學和應用科學、人文科學、社會科學和其他學科中使用的方法和應用。

　　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.
