The Astronomy + Data Science major at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, College of Liberal Arts & Sciences, provides students with integrated training in both astronomy and data science. With the astronomical field being transformed by the advent of large observational data sets, this program equips students with experience handling big data, applying computational and statistical methods, and understanding data curation and ethics. Graduates are prepared for research careers or roles requiring robust data interpretation skills, and will develop competencies in statistical analysis, data modeling, project work, and effective communication. Learning objectives encompass mastering astronomical scales and phenomena, applying quantitative and computational techniques, and interpreting and communicating complex data-driven insights. The program is STEM-designated and includes foundational and advanced coursework in both disciplines. 来源： https://catalog.illinois.edu/undergraduate/las/astronomy-data-science-bslas/
