Hello there. Hope you are doing good. I would like to tell you that the knowledge obtained in computer science degree helps an individual to pursue career as a data scientist but merely having a degree does not make yourself a data scientist. It is the skills that matters the most. You need data visualization skills, programming skills in Python, Big Hadoop, Apache Spark, SQL Database and many more technical requirements to become a data scientist. You can use resources available on the net to sharpen your skills and become a data scientist.

I hope you found this answer helpful. Good luck for your future.
