University President Dr. Rolyn C. Daguil with VP for Executive Operations and Auxiliary Services, Dr. Luisito I. Tabada, and College of Computing and Information Sciences Dean, Dr. Vicente A. Pitogo has participated in the Commission on Higher Education Mindanao-wide public hearing on the Proposed Policies, Standards, and Guidelines for the Bachelor of Science in Data Science (BSDS) program in Zamboanga City last November 24, 2022.

The event aims to refine the draft and develop a final version of a (CMO) to be released in early 2023. Different SUCs in Regions 9, 10, 11, 12, and 13 and BARMM participated in the said event.

CSU President Daguil has considered that CSU should offer the said program to accelerate the University into moving towards a more data-driven world.

Data Science is a field that seeks to understand and analyze data in various forms using scientific methods, processes, algorithms, and systems to extract knowledge and insights to understand real phenomena. It employs techniques and theories from computer science, mathematics, statistics, and other related disciplines.

There is a need to develop a new breed of future-ready graduates with the competencies and skills to address the pressing demands from the industry for data scientists that can work in different domains. Thus, the current Policies, Standards, and Guidelines (PSG) will address the need for data scientists who can apply machine learning, data mining, statistical modeling, business intelligence, and other theories to analyze data, extract knowledge, and develop a value for their organizations.
