B.S. Data Science & AI (Four-Year Taught Program)
The Data Science & AI (DSAI) major equips students with the technical and analytical skills needed to understand, develop, and apply advanced digital technologies in today’s data-driven world. By combining foundational study in computer science, mathematics, and statistics with practical applications in artificial intelligence and digital business, students build a strong foundation in programming, data analysis, and emerging technologies. Students explore areas such as machine learning, deep learning, system design, cybersecurity, natural language processing, and generative AI while developing the ability to solve complex problems through data and intelligent systems.
Graduates of the Data Science & AI major will be equipped for careers across a wide range of technology-driven industries, including novel roles related to AI development, data analytics, fintech, digital business, and information systems. Through hands-on learning opportunities and access to advanced facilities such as the TIU Human and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, the program equips students with practical technical experience and problem-solving abilities that can be applied in both domestic and international digital environments.
Towards the New Era of Information and Technology
The B.S. Data Science & AI program categorizes its courses into six concentration areas:
Data Analytics
The process of collecting, analyzing, and interpreting data to uncover patterns, generate insights, and support informed decision-making. Students develop the analytical and statistical skills needed to work with large datasets while learning how organizations use data to improve strategy, performance, and innovation.
Computer Science
The study of computational systems, algorithms, software, and the fundamental principles that power modern technology. This concentration builds a strong technical foundation in problem-solving, system design, and software development while preparing students to understand and create advanced digital solutions.
Programming and AI
The study of programming languages, intelligent systems, and computational methods used to develop modern AI-driven technologies. Students learn how to design and implement software while exploring how artificial intelligence can automate processes, analyze information, and solve complex real-world problems.
AI Engineering
The application of engineering principles to the design, development, and deployment of artificial intelligence systems in practical environments. Courses in this concentration focus on building scalable AI solutions while developing the technical skills required to integrate machine learning and intelligent technologies into real-world applications.
AI Application
The practical use of artificial intelligence technologies to improve decision-making, efficiency, and innovation across industries and organizations. Students explore how AI is applied in areas such as business, marketing, finance, and digital services while learning to evaluate the impact of intelligent technologies on society and industry.
Digital Business and Technology
The study of how digital technologies, data, and innovation are transforming modern business operations, industries, and global economic systems. This concentration helps students understand the relationship between technology and business strategy while preparing them to navigate the opportunities and challenges of the digital economy.
Hear from the Data Science & AI Faculty
Yuichiro Kanazawa | Program Director of Data Science & AI,
Professor of Statistics
“The DSAI major empowers students to identify, collect, analyze, and interpret data, enabling them to evaluate information critically, support arguments with evidence, and quantify uncertainty. Studying statistics and data science builds strong analytical skills, supports sound data-based decision-making, and prepares students for success in an increasingly data-driven world. This fundamental knowledge opens doors to diverse career paths, including technology, advanced research, business, healthcare, legal, government, and more.â€
Rafik Hamza | Associate Professor of Information Management and Cybersecurity
"Early in my career, I worked with sensitive medical and financial data, which showed me how powerful yet fragile digital systems can be. That perspective shapes my teaching at TIU...
...Through hands-on projects, students learn AI, data analysis, and security with the goal of building systems that are efficient, safe, fair, and respectful of privacy. In the DSAI program, practical labs and real-world projects deepen this understanding, covering privacy-preserving ML, secure data pipelines, and responsible AI deployment."
Omid Asgari | Associate Professor of Neuromarketing
"With a background in business ventures and entrepreneurship, I saw firsthand the importance of intuitive decision-making in fast-moving markets. My career has combined practical business experience with neuroscience insights to help leaders make better choices...
...Neuromarketing links academic theory with business practice by using biometrics, eye-tracking, and other tools to reveal the neurological drivers of consumer behavior. By understanding these connections, students will be better equipped to become dynamic leaders in their future careers."
TIU Human and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory
Located in TIU’s Kawagoe Campus, the TIU Human and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory boasts state of the art equipment for students taking DSAI courses to advance their skills through practice-oriented lessons and hands-on project implementations.
In addition to courses within the field of Data Science & AI, TIU E-Track programs aim to equip students with a range of skills, including courses in academic literacy, Japanese, liberal arts, and programs such as university exchanges in up to 270 locations.
