The purpose of setting up the center is to have students acquire logical and scientific thinking based on data at Seijo University, which is a university of liberal arts.From basic lessons such as learning about "big data" through topics familiar to students such as social networks and smartphones, to practical lessons to learn data science analysis technology and utilization technology by actual examples, to give students data To acquire the ability to think based, find problems, and solve problems.
Until now, Seijo University has set up a group of subjects specializing in data science as common subjects for all students, and has also been focusing on "science and mathematics education."
