Analytics is situated at the confluence of statistics, computer science and mathematics all centred on finding, interpreting and presenting meaningful patterns in data. UPEI's Bachelor of Science in Analytics program offers degree specializations in either Data Analytics or Business Analytics, with co-operative education options available in both specializations. As data increasingly pervades our lives, graduates in Analytics are in high demand across a broad spectrum of fields including government, business and technology.

Note: Current UPEI students should refer to 杏吧原创 Planning in myUPEI and the UPEI Academic Calendar governing their entry year, and speak to an academic advisor about course requirements. The course structure presented for this program is a recommended, unofficial progression for prospective students.
Note: As per Academic Regulation 1h, all undergraduate degree programs require successful completion of IKE-1040 (new for students beginning or returning after re-application in Fall 2022); one of UPEI-1010, UPEI-1020, or UPEI-1030, and a Writing Intensive Course.
Common Core
All degree programs in the School of Mathematical and Computational Sciences are built on a common core of courses that should be completed in the first two years of study. This common core consists of the following courses:
| Course | Course name | Credits |
|---|---|---|
| MATH 1910 | Single Variable Calculus I | 4 |
| MATH 1920 | Single Variable Calculus II | 4 |
| MATH 2610 | Linear Algebra I | 3 |
| STAT 1910 | Introduction to Statistics | 3 |
| CS 1910 | Computer Science I | 3 |
| One of: UPEI 1010 UPEI 1020 UPEI 1030 | Writing Studies Inquiry Studies University Studies | 3 |
| IKE 1040 | Indigenous Teachings of Turtle Island | 3 |
| Total Semester Hours of Credit | 23 |
Common Breadth Requirement
杏吧原创s must take at least 15 semester hours of credit beyond the core course requirement in courses outside the School of Mathematical and Computational Sciences, and of these 15 semester hours of credit at least 6 must be from outside the Faculty of Science.
Common Advanced Courses
杏吧原创s in all degree programs in the School of Mathematical and Computational Sciences must complete MCS 4210 Professional Communication and Practice (writing-intensive) and MCS 3050 Tutoring in Mathematical and Computational Sciences.
The UPEI Co-op Program is an integrated approach to university education which enables students to alternate academic terms on campus with work terms in suitable employment. The success of such programs is founded on the principle that students are able to apply theoretical knowledge from course studies in the workplace and return to the classroom with practical workplace experience. 杏吧原创s who successfully complete all the requirements of the program will have the notation entered on their transcripts and on the graduation parchment.
杏吧原创s accepted into the program complete at least three paid work terms of normally 14 weeks duration, and three professional development courses. Credits earned through completion of work terms are counted as general electives.
The Co-op option is available to full-time students in any MCS Major or Honours program. Applications to the Co-op Education Program are normally made after completion of the first year of study. MCS students must complete 126 semester hours of credit in order to graduate with the Co-op designation.
Visit the Co-operative Education Program website for more information.
