Lehman College Data Science Initiative

There’s a lot of data science going on at Lehman College!

Courses in many departments include data science material, such as learning R or Python, working with real world data, and doing original projects.

This spring we are offering: Math 128 Foundations of Data Science with Prof. Megan Owen.

In Fall 2019 we will offer both Math 128 and SOC 3470 Reasoning with data.

You can also learn R in SOC 345 and other classes (such as American Demography).
