A candidate with a Computer Science background can select Data Science .

In fact, CS students are well suited for Data Science because they already know:

• Programming

• Algorithms

• Databases

• Basic mathematics

Most colleges and courses prefer CS or IT students for Data Science.

The candidate may need to learn extra topics like:

• Statistics

• Machine learning

• Data analysis

But CS background is not a problem . It is actually an advantage .

Hope it helps !
